I couldn’t move. Couldn’t speak. Couldn’t eat. After 3 days my fever spiked to 104.7. I thought we were headed to the emergency room, but I couldn’t walk to the car and I’m too cheap for an ambulance. So I let DH try to bring my fever down himself. He’s a good guy.
I lost that part of my life. I wasn’t sure what went on in the house. But then today I uploaded the pictures off my camera and found a bunch I didn’t take. Looks like they had fun while I was sleeping.
I understand what you are going through. I hope you are feeling better. Being a mom and in charge of everything…it’s so hard to let it go and let someone else take care of things.
I recently had my gallbladder removed. My son’s birthday party had been scheduled for two days after my surgery. My husband and mom in law took care of everything for me, put up the decorations, set up the cake (which I planned to bake but had to buy), and took tons of picture for me while I was upstairs in bed. My husband helped for weeks cooking and cleaning and just generally being incredibly patient and awesome while I felt like such a loser. It was a long road but I’m getting much better.
Get better, take care of yourself and don’t beat up yourself too much.
Jennifer, That is awesome that your husband and his mom did so much for your son and so you could rest. I’m glad you are getting better. Gallbladder stuff is so painful.
Hope you feel better Angela!
Looks like your kids had a lot of fun!
Ooh no, how are you feeling now? Our family has had a stomach flu in our house for 10 days not….IT WILL NOT LEAVE. Trust me, it has worn out its welcome. 😉
Sending prayers to you and your family….
Nicole, stomach flu for 10 days!!!!! Aack! I hope everyone is well now. I’m the only one still sick, but it’s just congestion and coughing now. We had to cancel our New Year’s party plans :(, but will have the party in 4 weeks instead. I have a few more days to get the house clean (and maybe lay some floors, lol.)
Awwww! They were having fun! And glad you’re on the mend. Being sick is NOT fun when you’re the mama!!
So happy that you are finally feeling better….. you now see firsthand what stress will do to you SLOW DOWN! or Mother Nature will take it into her own hands….
