My third out of us 4 sisters...called on her drive back to chy town (that's chicago for anyone unversed)...from being here during the surgery to sit with our mama...and to be there for support for my sister when she got out of surgery.
She said my other sister was WIPED out from the surgery and going to sleep good and need lots of rest. Said she was in the pediatric ward so she could have her own room and a flat screen tv and no kids under 12 allowed...
So I guess even if my kids were well, they wouldn't have been able to come after all.
We were talking about how we were both in denial about "what if" it had been the....whispers...c-word. She said she cried at first and then went into denial. I said I couldnt even think about it. Then when I had to drop by my daughter's school for a quick moment and I was telling the secratary my sister had just come out of surgery and it wasn't cancer....after I had said it...i just started blubbering...i couldn't control myself. And i told her I sat there and fanned my face because I was getting hot and I appologized to her and said, I'm sorry. I didn't think I was going to cry but you're the first person I've told.
so we were kind of giggling and she said, "I know. You think you've got it all under control and you're handeling it just fine...and then when you come out and say it you start blubbering to people..."
and i was like, "I KNOW!"
well, we had to run to walmart to get pedialyte and children's tylonol because Zoe was just not breaking this fever. We get to walmart and as Zoe steps out of the van door, she pukes in between the 2 cars. For a moment I thought....ew, maybe i better move my van...so the person parked next to me doesn't think it was me...but then i looked around and we were in too good of a spot to move.
well, we had to make that trip a fast one....well, as fast as i could...trying to figure out where all the things were that I needed...ALL across the store from one end to the next...but we made it out without any more ? special deliveries? so to speak.
now my 3 year old is starting with the hacking cough on top of her 5 days of yucky poo...iy yi yi.
and did i say my 7 year old has 2 virus's? the flu and the tummy bug?
sleep? oooh i sure do hope so.
Thanks for your happy rejoices with me! I just couldn't process the other...
sorry the kids are sick. I don't know if you want to try it but thought I would share it with you....a teaspoon of buttermilk will stop all that puking. I know it sounds crazy but it works everytime. My daughter was 4 yrs old and had been puking for 7 days straight and could not keep anything down for the last 2 days so my mom told me to give that baby a tsp of buttermilk before I come down there and do it myself. My dd did not want to take it but I forced her and she puked no more.
I will keep praying for yall
