I'm never sick. And when I say never I really mean very rarely. I remember as a child how I could not stand to miss school. My Mom would always tell me "we'll see how you are in the morning." Then when it was time to get up for school and I'd be burning with fever she'd give me the verdict that no I couldn't go to school. I'd cry and tell her how much I wanted to go. Nope, I couldn't go to school with a fever! There was the time in college when I was very, very sick. It was the beginning of spring break 1998. I was going to ride to Waco with JMP to meet my family where my cousin was spending the weekend participating in a PIPS (basketball) contest. I was also to meet JMP's family for the first time. I ended up at the ER that weekend. We still laugh at how goofy I was acting on the meds I got. Last January I went to the doctor for a muscle spasm in my back. JMP commented how that was like the first time he'd had to take me to the doctor (other than pregnancy related visits). So to be sick is abnormal for me. I've heard from several how hard it is on Mom to be sick and how the world doesn't stop for us to get well either!
Today JMP went back to work. Caleb has acted better today and yesterday. His eyes were looking droopy yesterday but today he is mostly back to normal. We are counting down the doses left of his RX. I woke up feeling blah and that has continued. I even took a nap today when Caleb did this afternoon. After that I felt so energetic, I was putting up some dishes and washing a few more. It just exhausted me; I felt as if I'd been running a race. I guess that is an improvement over doing nothing yesterday!
Being sick has made me thankful I'm not sick often. I'm glad that I am here and able to be home and get well. I'm glad we are all on the mend.

it's not fun being sick :0( get well soon!!!
I am very rarely sick as well. Since I have been a mom I have had the blessing to be sick sometimes when there are others to take care of the kids. It is still hard though. So glad you are all on the mend!
I hope you are feeling better quickly.
