The Plague

I think the plague hit out house a couple days ago. My in laws ordered KFC when we were at their house (I’ve only ever had it 2 times my whole life and thought it was pretty gross)and it seemed odd because they didn’t really eat that stuff. So we ate it and my daughter ate maybe 15 fries and that’s it (she doesn’t eat meat). When we got home she was restless and hard to put to sleep and kept on waking up, then I went in her room and she was tossing around everywhere so I took her to the potty. She had major diarrhea that was liquid and smelled awful. I gave her some herbs for her belly and got her back to bed. She woke up about and hour later and puked up all the fries. She finally slept after that but woke up still with diarrhea. We assumed it was just the nasty fries and gave her some stuff to help her rehydrate. I felt fine and so did my husband. On monday I felt totally fine all day, I made a big dinner and ate a big salad right before my husband got home around 5:30. I started feeling really tired and not very hungry so I played mega blocks and didn’t eat dinner. Then I got really nauseous so I laid on the couch and tired to sleep a little bit. I had shooting pain through my back and abdomen and when I got up to pee my stomach was rock hard and bloated, I could barely walk. I took a bath which helped a little then told the husband I needed to go to bed because I didn;t feel well. I ended up puking about every 40 minutes for 12 hours straight after that. I was so exhausted and dehydrated I fell asleep on the bathroom floor until my husband got up for work at around 5:30 in the morning. I could barely move and felt so awful. Every sip of water I took came right back up. Of course baby was going crazy with all the puking, kicking and punching at me. I was glad to know baby was ok but it feels very uncomfortable to have all the movement when you feel sick. Thank god my in laws are early risers, we called them around 6:30 to come over and stay while we went to the hospital. Of course it was -40 that morning but I’m very grateful they could come over and our car started!
I cried in the ER waiting room and couldnt stop crying to talk to the nurse. I don’t like hospitals and I was so exhausted I couldnt help it. While waiting for the doctor the girl in the area next to me was complaining of being sick (puking 2 times in 24 hours) haha, I kind wanted to smack her. I ended up getting a saline drip and some anti nausea stuff.

I’ve never had that before and it sure feels weird. We got back home after a few hours and I puked a couple more times before I sent the husband out to buy the anti nausea medication the prescribed. I have never taken any prescription drugs and rarely even take tylenol but I didn’t want to put me or the baby at risk by getting too dehydrated. I actually got some sleep last night but I was so exhausted, aching and nauseated, I think it was freaking my husband out because I have only been that sick one other time years ago. (and I was not pregnant). He said the pharmacist was giving him a big speech on morning sickness when he bought the pills even though I wasn’t taking them for that. I’m glad our insurance covered most of the cost because 15 pills for $35 is crazy! I’m feeling better today but my daughter still has diarrhea and no other symptoms. I’m hoping she is doing better tomorrow. I’m also kind of freaked out because our money is extremely tight right now and this is the 4th day in 2 weeks my husband has missed. I wouldn’t worry too much except her starts his 8 weeks of schooling next month and our earning with be very very low for 2 months. BUT he does get a $7 an hour raise after those 8 weeks and reimbursed $2000. SIGH. Money has a way of coming and going I suppose. Right now it is all just going going gone.
sorry the spelling mistakes are always bad I’m usually trying to wrangle a toddler when I write.
