Excuse my language....really. But last week truly was the week from down under. Probably one of the worst weeks we've had as a married couple. The Sunday after Lee's birthday party, he woke up with pink eye. It looked horrible. Luckily our pediatrician called in some drops first thing Sunday morning and we were able to get it under control rather quickly.
Monday morning (around 3am) I woke up feeling extremely nauseas. Little did I know, the worst stomach virus OF MY LIFE, was about to hit...with a vengeance. It was awful. I have "normal low blood sugar" and therefor when I get sick, it drops below normal, resulting in me passing out quite often. I passed out about 4 times before noon, once almost lasting 2 full minutes. My sister was still in town and it scared her and Phillip to death. Luckily, Phillip is good friends with my doctor, text him, and he immediately told Phillip to bring me in. He had me bypass the ER, go straight to the 4th floor, and straight to my room.
Yes...we LOVE Dr. Smith. They immediately got some fluids going and did blood work. At first, he was scared it may have been my appendix....thankfully it just turned out to be severe dehydration. He did have me spend the night and released me Tuesday mid-morning. Monday night, as Phillip was headed back up to the hospital with clothes, he accidentally backed into my car. Ugh. He felt awful. It was parked randomly and he forgot it was there. Oh well....cars can be fixed.
My sister and her kids were still in town helping with Lee. She also cloroxed my entire house. It was so nice having her here. Lexi ended up getting a mild case of the virus and spent most of Monday evening in bed. Tuesday, we thought we were on the mend. Nope. Ashley was next. Yuck! Tuesday night we went to bed early. Ashley came and woke me up around 4am letting me know my sister and triston were both sick as dogs. Bless their hearts. Wednesday morning, my sister decided to just try and get past it and get on the road home. She was scared that if we didn't seperate, we were going to continue to pass it between all of us. They got to Birmingham, and had to pull over and get a hotel. They were BOTH still sick. Lastly, Phillip ended up getting sick all day Thursday while I was back at work and Lee at daycare.
Keep in mind, my mom ended up taking it back as well as Phillips grandmother. YUCK! To say we are glad last wee is history, is an understatement. Thank you Lord, for health and happiness this week!!
