Oh, but it gets better...

I am not sure whether to blame the stomach bug Ade had, or the Moe's we ate for lunch, but I spent hours in the bathroom last night sick as a dog. Ryan took Ade downstairs and I just crawled back and forth from the toilet to the bed. I was so weak and sick I laid on the ceramic tile thinking I should just sleep there and not try to make it back to the bed. Ryan ended up with Ade sleeping on him sitting up almost all night. Then, this morning, he felt sick and threw up. Other than sheer exhaustion, he hasn't gotten as sick as I was luckily.

We decided this morning to move our flight to tomorrow. So, we pushed our trip back a day, but there was really no way we were going to be able to finish packing and get on that flight today. Hopefully tomorrow we will be well enough to make the trip.

Taking care of Ade today while Ryan and I are both sick is no fun at all. I really feel like we have been dealing with one thing after another this month. We just need a break! Please!

I'm catching up on my babymalynn reading ... Geez you guys have been through a lot! I hope you get some time to relax in good health. Being sick with kids (them sick, you sick, or both) is one of those things that's immeasurably worse than when you were without kids. I remember Gwen's first two stays in hospital (she was 2.5 years, so a little different than 6 months) like it was yesterday. Little body, big bed, lots of tubes. I remember watching her toddle down the hospital ward hallway, attached to her IV tree. Ugh.

Just remember, one day, Ade will look you in the eye and say "Mommy, I love you" and it will be all better.
