So, of course I get the flu when Chris is out of town for 4 days! Oh MAN, I woke up yesterday morning as he was packing and I was SO queasy... It continued throughout the day and last night was the WORST. I was up all night with throwing up, hot, then cold, shivering, then warm... Downed some Pepto Bismal which only made it worse...
So needless to say, today is a trying day. Gavin also seems to be in a "mood". Wants to be held and as soon as I put him down, he starts crying. If I leave the room, he screams while crawling in to follow me wherever I may have gone... This made me start to wonder how single parents do this 24 hours a day 7 days a week? What if I had been throwing up during the day? I guess you just DEAL with it and do what you have to do. It's not like you really have a choice, right?
So here's to hoping for no NASTY diapers today or I just might puke!
OH YUCK!! I am sooooo sorry my dear friend! Here's a link to my post on some home remedies - http://radicalmamajourney.blogspot.com/2008/11/kick-that-cold-to-curb.html. These are not just for the cold...they are for any time your immune system is down. Even tho I was frustrated w/them last week, I discovered that I just had one bad day to get all the ickies out and then I was all better...I'm sure it would've gotten worse hadn't I worked so hard to kick it. The ginger bath and bedtime sock thing are easy and harmless....I would recommend those since they aren't much effort. Cheap, easy, and worth a try, at least!! I hope you get well soon....sick w/a baby is NO fun!!!
ReplyDeleteBOO! The stomach bug SUCKS! Hope you feel better soon and that Gavin stays puke and nasty poop free!! :)
