so i’ve meant to write here on many topics, including all about my new kindle, which i basically wrote carter in an email. bu i haven’t posted b/c before christmas i spent every non-kid moment working on ornament gifts for my family. they were cute, even though i did not get the cutest one done in time. i will by the next holiday season.
i am currently eating ramen. it is good. and it has been many many years since i ate ramen. but it is perfect for a stomach that is still recovering from the worst sickness i have ever experienced. aiden puked for a little bit on christmas eve, but was fine after 6 hours. on christmas everyone was fine. i passed out on the couch at 7 and then slept basically until 6. i should have known something was wrong. but i felt fine. we hit the after christmas sales. i was a little nauseous. i ate a little lunch and went for a run, but only did one loop b/c i was feel worst by the minute. by 7 pm i had not kept a single thing down. not even ice. i could not move. i was running a temp and was worried about a kidney infection since i knew i was dehydrated. so my mom and i went to the er. i mainly went for the saline iv i knew i would get. seriously. i was dreaming of water. i was so thirsty. i felt like a drug seeker, except all i wanted was a saline iv to help with the thirst.
turns out, i was very dehydrated and very sick and ended up spending the night in the hospital for fluid and antibiotics. no evidence of a kidney infection. though i did get a lecture from the very old dr on rounds this morning before he discharged me.
ben and my sister also spent the afternoon/evening/night throwing up. i just got very dehydrated probably due to the nursing and starting out dehydrated. thankfully, my other sister did not come down with it (she had probably gotten it the friday before we left) and she was able to do a stellar job of taking care of the childs while my mom was at the hospital with me. that’s is really all i worried about this morning when i finally felt human, that she would get sick and i had abandoned all my childs to sick people. thank goodness we had started liam on formula supplements, so he was able to eat while i was away. i’m back to nursing thank goodness. even though they warned me that the anti-nauseous med might make liam drowsy. hahaha. whatever. i did pump and throw away the milk it was probably most concentrated in. and this drowsiness has not materialized really.
anyways. i am feeling better today. everyone is feeling better today. i feel bad for ben as it is hard to be sick in someone else’s house, but i was glad that we were here at my parent’s as we had lots of help and i had my mom. and really, even at 31 one still needs their mom when they are so sick they cannot move.
