Warning: Not for those with a weak stomach!!!
Are you kidding me? I woke up with yet ANOTHER stomach virus today. This is my 5th one in 10 months. I felt it coming and quickly turned on the TV in our room for Addie, leaving her on the bed and ran to the bathroom. A few minutes later I peek in to check on Addie (between harfs) and she is sitting on the edge of the bed, feet dangling, trying to reach the nightstand... Eek!!! I was too late and she busted her cheek on the stand leaving her her first bruise.... pitiful. She was in hysterics and I felt another bout coming on.... AH! I try to sit her in the floor so I could harf and she didn't want to have anything to do with it, she started screaming and arching her back, not wanting me to let go of her. So I end up holding one of her arms while sitting on the toilet puking into the tub. I finally let go of her and am trying to finish and she starts pulling up on the toilet trying to reach in....GROSS!
At this point I am desperate so I wipe my mouth and start calling people. Mom had forgotten her cell at home, Katie was at work, Dad didn't hear his phone so I finally call Jarom "Jarom you HAVE to come home NOW..." as I continue raving to him I didn't realize my cell had died so all he heard was you have to come home now. Poor Jarom. He made it home in record time, I was definitely impressed as I was still harfing in the tub. He brings me some water, grabs Addie and makes a beeline to the other room. I really don't blame him. It was nasty. Work is calling him nonstop, so my sweet hubby takes Addie, dresses her, changes her extremely wet diaper from all night and takes her to work with him.
Mom got home and saw my missed calls and heard my desperate messages "mommmm (raspy, half dead voice) I NEED you" 2nd call "mommmmmm (increasingly dead voice) I really really need you right now, callllllll me!" 3rd call on the house line"(almost in tears) Moooooommmmmmmm, please come over". Now yes, I do realize that I am 23 and really should be able to handle a puke virus without my mommy, but man, it sure is nice to have her there to help! She came over, brought me sprite and waited until Jarom got back with Addie moments later. She then loaded up Addie's stuff and took her to her house for the rest of the day. Jarom stayed with me (cough, his xbox, cough) the rest of the day, made me soup (which I finally got to eat 5 hours later due to more pukes), and got Addie from Mom's this evening. Mom sent him home with dinner so he didn't have to come up with something for just him and Addie went down for a late nap after two huge poopy diapers (poor Jarom again). I sure do love my mom and hubby. I feel a little better, my stomach is still uneasy, but hopefully this is the last one I'll have for a LONG time.
Oh to top off the day, Addie pulled a dinner plate off of the coffee table from Jarom's dinner and it landed right on the top of her foot at her ankle leaving another bruise. Her first 2 bruises in one day. How sad is that?! Tomorrow WILL be a better day!

Yeah, you win.
Worst sucky day.
Who know it could feel so good being a loser. :)
Sorry to tease. I hope you are feeling better! And can stay better!
Awww, Beth, I am so sorry that you are sick once again. Your mom is so great, I totally agree! take care...OK, I was talking to this lady at Wallmart and she swore by taking a apple cidar vinegar with some water to cut the taste. She also takes fish oil pills. Anyway she is 80 something years old and said she has not been sick in years because she takes this everyday. I don't know that much about it, but I think I am going to try it.
Yay for moms and great hubby's!
Good, VERY good, hubby! I didn't have family close when mine were small so Shawn had no choice to be my hero, poor guy, he got many a call to 'save' me!
Oh, Beth, that is one of the saddest things ever!! I HATE, HATE, HATE being sick to my stomach. I so feel for you. I pray you are on the mend. Two thumbs WAY up for Sherry and Jarom. And, hey, I will be 30 in Dec. and I still call on my mommy to save me if needed so SAVE ON MOMS! We are so lucky to have out families so close by. Please let me know if you need anything!
Omg thats awful!! i HATE the pukes! That was super nice of ur hubby to just leave and come home like that! I hope u feel better ASAP and never have the pukes again!!!
Poor thing!! I cannot handle the pukes by myelf either, especially with kids that think they need to be RIGHT there. Poor little Addie! Hopefully you will have a better day today! We love you!
Oh my goodness! Bless your pukie heart!! : )I hope you are feeling better. Girl, that's not normal to have a stomach virus that often. Maybe you should check with your doc. No bueno! Don't hesitate to call me if you need help! Mark always loves to play with a buddy.
Bethie, I would have my feelings hurt if you didn't call. I'm sorry your still feeling bad. It is amazing you can think of sweet things to do in between the barfing. Thanks for the cider. And....did you hear what Sandy said....Apple cider vinegar....Bragg's apple cider vinegar...have you heard that somewhere else before, ahem....I promise everyone it works
Terrible! I feel so bad for you. I just had a sinus infection and thought my world was crap, but I wasn't throwing up.... that is the worst! I am glad to hear that you are doing better!
