Sick, Sick, Sick


There's no good spin to put on this--my family has been sick, sick, sick. I came down with a stomach bug on Friday and my family quickly followed. Thankfully (I guess!), I didn't have the bug nearly as bad as Dave, Elliot and Delaney, and I quickly recovered. However, Dave, Delaney and Elliot have been sicker than anything with fevers, vomiting and all the rest! It's really hard for me when both Delaney and Elliot are really sick because no one is sleeping, they both need me all of the time, and they are so cranky.

Yesterday, we pretty much were in 'survival mode'---dirty clothes, towels, sheets were just thrown into the garage to deal with later. I plopped Delaney down in front of the tv for as long as possible. Nothing got cleaned. There was no picking up. I was completely and totally exhausted from being up with Delaney for hours and hours the night before.

Today, Dave, Delaney and Elliot seem to be on the mend. Everyone still is exhausted and cranky but can keep down some liquids and nibble on a couple of crackers.

Hopefully, everything will start to look up soon!

oh man sounds like our whole winter. I can telling from experience that being sick with sick kids and being pregnant is one of the worst moments life can bring. I think for me it just made me really appreciate the days we were healthy. hope you guys feel better soon.
