The Yuckies

The last few weeks around here have been filled with nothin' but the yuckies! Last week I had a rotten case of vertigo. One day I spent the entire day in about 10 square feet of our downstairs with Sarabeth. It was one of those days where I wish I could have just called in sick...but those days are no more. Matt left for work and I set up shop where I could care for Sarabeth without having to run into any walls or fall over. By Tuesday I was getting worse so I had the doc call me in a script for nausea. It slowly got better and by the end of the week I was good to go. Friday night Sarabeth woke up vomitting. Lovely. We had a grand b-day party at the zoo on Saturday and I LOVE THE ZOO! She didn't seem like she was sick although she did vomit another 2-3 times that morning and at the zoo...yes we went anyway. We had to skip an event that I really wanted to be at on Saturday night. (Thank you God for testing if my priorities were in line, they weren't-hence the zoo outing) On Sunday morning Sarabeth seemed refreshed and back to normal so off to church we go. She did well in the nursery and then at lunch she showered us all with her throw up. Sorry Michael! After getting home she seemed great for the rest of the night. Then...Matt woke up in the middle of the night with the yuckies! He was out of commission for the entire day. He was so sick he couldn't even lift his head, poor thing. So, I was on full nurse duty for two. Sarabeth and I made a trip to the pedi, prognosis...stomach bug. Back home with go with no meds. Doc said there was nothing we could do but wait it out. Meanwhile Matt is really bad. Between cleaning up Sarabeth's yuckies and keeping Matt hydrated, it was a long Monday. Today Matt was better, Sarabeth threw up in the car, and I...was on the brink of losing it. I think I have the mental yuckies. So we will be at the pedi again tomorrow for allergy testing and to check for ANOTHER ear infection. Pray for all of us, I really need it!
