Yesterday I spent most of the day lying on my sofa whenever the baby was sleeping. I tried "shooing" the other children off to play but since Mommy said she was sick they all wanted to take care of me.
So out came the doctors kit and tea. I also was given a doll by my daughter..funny it is my Cabbage Patch Doll from my childhood...good choice. I held that doll while watching Survivor and trying to not let the nausea take over.
After many rounds of Advil and many trips to the bathroom I felt "good" enough to get everyone settled for bed. Of course fights were a guarantee because the baby, twins and I laid down around 4:30 for a quick nap and they were just not tired.
Owen got in the shower and when he came out he said his belly hurt. Want a tip?
ALWAYS BELIEVE YOUR CHILD THAT HIS BELLY HURTS!!!
I got him in his PJ's and he threw a fit that he come into my bed, so I let him. Within 30 seconds of sitting in my bed guess what happened? Oh yeah....good thing I put the throw up pail beside him before I walked away.
This went on for HOURS...I kid you not. I think it was 4 a.m. before Owen and myself got to sleep more than 20 minutes a shot. After searching I found some gravol and that seemed to do the trick. I feel so bad for him because I have NEVER seen so much come out of him before. He was slightly delirious as well and not making much sense when he talked.
I tired too and still not feeling up to par. My daughter woke at 5 and has not gone back to bed. I am sure whatever bug we have is working on her because she has complained of stomach pain (and let me tell you from experience it HURTS!). Sam and the baby are the only ones still looking and feeling fine.
To top it off I have run out of Children's tylenol and advil so now I need to figure out how to get some.
To be honest....I am not even cranky..yet. Of course everyone will be back to restored health by tomorrow because Daddy is home tonight and hey ....I'd have help right? I hope this day goes by fast, real fast.
I'm off to burn some oils and put on my ionizer. This bug is outta here.
