Suck Ass Week

I don't ever want to live thru this week again!

Before I go any further, just a reminder that my hubby is 450 miles away. He moved ahead while we stayed here so Christian could finish 1st grade. Seemed like a good idea at the time!

Christian started throwing up last Sunday morning at 6 am...non stop. Erika started throwing up Tuesday morning at 2 am. Neither one was stopping so I took them both to the ER. After waiting for hoursssssssss (it was jam packed), they were both given anti nausea meds and sent home. Christian got better, Erika did not. Back to the ER on Wednesday night and they admitted her for dehydration. Released her yesterday. I am discharged for 1/2 hour, she starts puking again. Back to the ER. Blood levels are good. General consensus is that she was given too much food during the day on Friday before she was sent home and it was too much for her little belly to handle. I told the nurse it was too much but who the hell am I? She is home now and a little miserable but no puking so hopefully we are getting done. Bad thing is that she is back on a liquid diet with a gradual return to solids and she is HUNGRY and just keeps saying "Pleaz eat." How do you explain to an 18 month old why she can't eat? Good thing is she is still nursing and has been keeping that down. I am a big believer in extended nursing!

So here I am being admitted on Wednesday night with my daughter and no one to take care of my son!! I called our friend who had taken care of Christian when I had Erika and she came up to the hospital at midnight to get him. She kept him until Friday morning then another friend took him for the day and then he had a sleep over at his friend's house from school last night! The woman who came for him on Wednesday went to my house on Thursday and got me some clothes and a toothbrush!! I didn't have anything!! No money either. A really good friend of mine brought me some magazines and candy and other stuff but best of all, MONEY, so I could go eat!

It has been a tough week and I never ever want to do this again!!! at least not without my hubby!!
