Mommy Ok??

I tried writing this last night, but I had an unexpected event happen that prevented me from doing so. That event is part of what I am writing about tonight. 2011 was a decent year for me. I had my ups and downs but I had more ups than anything. When 2012 came around it seems to be a never ending battle. I just thought my birthday was the only thing that was going to go wrong this week...boy was I wrong. I talked about keeping my uncle's granddaughter the day we celebrated my birthday, but didn't really give a reason as it was irrelevant. It's relevant now...both my aunt and uncle both got hit with a stomach bug at the same time that was causing them to be sick every 30 minutes. The virus entails other things that I will NOT talk about because we all know what happens with stomach viruses lol. To help my aunt and uncle out we kept my cousin for them because who in their right mind could care for a two year old when you're constantly hovering over a garbage can and running for the bathroom. I was worried about Maddy getting sick but what can ya do...not much. Sunday rolled around and Maddy was just fine. I wake up Monday morning...a little later than usual but not that late. Before I actually got up I had heard Maddy awake earlier but it was her normal I'm up stuff so there was no need to go rushing in there. I finally roll out of bed and when I go to wake her up I see stuff on her bed. I originally thought at first that she must have gone to bed with a piece of pizza in her hand that I missed and it just smeared in her bed. I knew that wasn't the case because it's kinda hard missing a piece of pizza lol. I just keep staring trying to figure out what in the world was on her bed because it wasn't on her and it didn't really smell. I get up to turn her light on and I hear her doing something and I turned around to see her getting sick. It hit me that she had that yucky virus that I just really hoped she wouldn't have gotten. I took her temp and it was only 99. She got sick a couple other times throughout the day but it was very minimal and as soon as she was done she wanted to play. I felt so bad for her because it was obvious she was hungry, but her belly said you better not so didn't eat at all Monday. I thought by Tuesday she could go to school, but when I woke her up Tuesday she looked sick and I took her temp and it was 100.4 and she had some diapering issues. She tried eating Tuesday, but it ended up not settling very well and after that she didn't eat anymore. She mainly played all day Tuesday. By the end of Tuesday I knew she would be ok to go back to school on Wednesday. By the end of Tuesday...4:30 ish to be semi exact I came down with the same thing. I felt so bad because Maddy saw me get sick and the first time she asked if mommy choked. The second time she asked if mommy was ok. That virus is no joke....it takes all your energy within the first round and it just keeps going and going and going. I've been dehydrated before and I started to panic thinking I'd get dehydrated again, but I didn't. I tried eating a piece of toast Wednesday night, but it messed up my stomach so today I have only eaten a few saltines. Maddy is still having problems with food. She eats lunch at school, but once she comes home the consequences of her lunch appear. Last night on my way to write this I smelled something that was not good. I was hoping it was my dog, but I found out poor Maddy had gotten sick all over herself and her bed and she had fallen asleep in it. I got so worried because I had a hard time waking her up. She doesn't make any noises at all when she gets sick...she doesn't really even cry. She just stands there and once she's done she says she feels all better. I got her up and undressed and we took a bath at 10:30 p.m. and got back in bed by 11. I slept in her room until 2:40 a.m. and then decided to go ahead and go to my bed to try to get back up at 4...yeah...that didn't happen lol. I am only feeding her a soft diet at home right now, so hopefully she won't have any problems tonight. I refuse to try food right other than bread and crackers because I still don't feel right and I do not want to relive that experience. I haven't been all that hungry except for tonight and I really want some pizza or some soft serve ice cream, but for now I'll stick to my saltines, gatorade, and chocolate milk.

 This was the first time Maddy has done anything to the walls. She took her chalk and decided to make the wall her easel lol. She did this on Tuesday

This was on the way to Baskin Robbins. I felt so bad for her but was thankful she got some good sleep. I hope you all have stayed clear from this virus because it just doesn't seem to want to leave. I'm exhausted and have a 13-14 hour day ahead of me tomorrow. Time for me to jump in bed!
