I've been trying so hard to stay positive about everything going on with DS. But... Tonight both DS and DH are sick. It's hard to know if DS is puking because he's sick or because of his reflux, but he also has had diarrhea since Friday morning. I know he's dehydrated so when he wakes up we will have to take him back in to the er. ...Again.
Dh has the flu for sure. I'm not feeling great either, but apparently moms aren't allowed to get sick like dads are. So yea, I have 2 people to take care of. I just want to scream. Are you freaking kidding me with this crap?!
Re: I seriously can't catch a break.
So sorry...that sucks!! I know what you mean about taking care of 2 people though...DH came home with strep throat last week and was giving me the sick puppy dog eyes like "take care of me, baby me please!"
I was like um, sorry you are no longer the baby here...take care of yourself and go buy some chicken soup...
?
Wow, you've been through so much with all of this. There has got to be something awesome just around the corner.
Deep down I really do believe this. I know we just have to get him through this. I try to be thankful that I know my baby will be coming back home with me after he gets some fluids etc. There are so many parents up on the peds floor that truly cannot say the same thing. I really try to focus on that.
However... all I can think right now is "You know it's bad when you start packing a hospital bag knowing you'll end up staying a few nights." We haven't even left the house yet and I have a bag packed for a 2-3 night stay. *sigh*
