My 2 nephews and my niece are here from California on vacation. The boys have been staying at my house a lot and I really enjoy having them there, they add laughter and life to my house. Last week, the boys went to stay with one of my sisters who had sick children and late last week my nephews got sick. One of them had fever, diarrhea and was throwing up. While the other starting coughing, had blisters in his mouth, had fever, and was throwing up.
Well, on Sunday I got it. It all started around 1 and from 1 to midnight I was throwing up about every 15 minutes. I couldn't even keep down water, it was horrible. I felt as if I was going to die. I have never been that sick in all of my life. While I was doubled over the toilet I kept thinking about how those kids are a zest pool of disease and then...the oldest boy came over to the bathroom to check up on me and to see if I needed anything. I thought it was the sweetest thing in the world. My own bother didn't even do that. He was so cute, I took care of him while he was sick and I would keep bringing him medicine, seven up and crackers and he wanted to do the same thing. How cute is that? I now know that all liquids make it worse so I was actually making him sicker rather than helping him out, I didn't tell him that though.
Other than having a HUGE headache, being a little dizzy, and having a throwing back pain I am all better now. I am still afraid to eat so I have only had a yogurt and a glass of orange juice since yesterday morning. I am very hungry but I am afraid to eat. On a positive note, I am 5 lbs skinnier today :) Aren't diseases wonderful for diets?
