SICK! - June 5, 2008

I was going to take a picture of Leah vegging on the couch, but the battery pack on our camera is DEAD. I ordered a couple of replacements, but they won't be here for a while...

Leah threw up Sat night, Sun night, Mon night, and Wed night. On Tuesday she seemed so much better that I was sure she was well. Her naps were back to 30 min long.

Yesterday morning, I woke up achey and nauseous... things didn't get better! I spent the better part of the day just laying around. Last night Leah started up her "I don't feel good" tossing and turning, then she threw up again... Around 3am she was screaming, and nothing I did seemed to help.

This morning I felt about 85% better, but poor Leah must feel like I did yesterday. She has napped on the couch most of the day. She still has some smiles in her, but she's certainly not her normal active self. I laid her down on a blanket and she just stayed there and watched TV with Elijah.

I hope she's feeling better tomorrow. If not, I'll probably take her to the doctor... That will be 3 doctor visits on 3 consecutive Fridays (I took Leah two weeks ago to make sure her lungs sounded okay. Last week I had to take Hannah for a UTI, but our doc was out of town and we had to go to 'convenient care' which is a huge misnomer!)

Oh, one more complaint about convenient care. For UTIs our doc prescribes an antibiotic that you take twice a day for three days. Convenient care doc prescribed one that you take FOUR times a day for SEVEN days!!! Needless to say, I have forgotten to give Hannah several doses... Of course, she will finish the bottle, but it will probably be in eight days instead of seven.

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear you are sick! Poor girls. It sure has hit your family hard. Just as well, though, that you missed church because this week strep throat is going around. Geeze, I'm ready to become a Montana Unabomber hermit. For crying out loud, stop with the sicky stuff!

I have antibiotics like that but they are for 2 months... I have missed so many doses already...
