Recovering

It's a blessing that when kids get sick, that they recover quickly and are up and playing around again within a few hours, but why can't adults do that too? Unfortunately, Caleb got sick on Saturday while we were out of town visiting Rod's parents. Luckily he figured out how to throw up in the potty and preferred that method, but he didn't always have the best aim and one time we didn't make it in time. We all felt terrible for the little guy, but after throwing up 3 times and just 5 hours later, he was up running around playing like nothing ever hit him. At the time we figured that he must have eaten something that didn't agree with him because he didn't have a fever and it lasted such a short period of time.

The next day we were on our way home and I wasn't feeling very well. We are in the car and I just want to be at home but we still had most of the two hour ride ahead of us. We were still an hour out and I got sick in the car, before we made it home I got sick 2 more times. We got home around 7. The sickness didn't stop there, but I won't go into all the details. It was midnight before I was finally able to spend some time away from the bathroom. I didn't sleep at all Sunday night because I just couldn't get comfortable and I was still so nauseous. Yesterday, I spent all day laying around and let the kids have the house. I frankly didn't even care about what they did as long as they weren't screaming. I slept a lot of the day. Finally yesterday evening I was feeling well enough to get up and move around. This morning I am still only eating toast, but I am feeling so much better. The goal today is to help the house recover from the kids reign yesterday!

Leah is so tender hearted. She felt so bad that I was sick. On the way home Sunday, Rod was talking about how Leah had kissed me and how he was worried that she might get sick. Leah had also kissed him so he was worried that he might get it too. Leah must have heard all of this and thought that he was saying that she was responsible for making me sick. Sunday night she came to me and told me that she was sorry that she made me sick and how she shouldn't have kissed me. I guess that she had told this to Rod as well. We both explained to her that she did not make me sick and that we were just worried that she would get sick because of me. She was so worried about me yesterday and was so happy that I was up moving around today. Luckily, Leah and Rod have both made it through so far. Hopefully, it will stay that way.
