Back from the dead.

WOW! I was pretty sick! I was sick in the night on Wednesday night, felt crummy on Thursday and expected to feel better on Friday. I didn't. I expected to feel better on Saturday. I felt WORSE. And on Sunday I thought the Lord could just take me away. I was really bad on Sunday. I wasn't able to eat much, and what I did eat eventally came back up, and I tried to drink as much fluid as I could, but it wasn't enough, so I got pretty dehydrated. I was still trying to nurse Callie all though this, also, and was having a difficult time making enough milk for her. So, after being sick all night Sunday night I woke up yesterday morning at an all time awful. I called gma to come take Callie, got Brent out of bed(from his all of two hours of sleep) and had him take me to the ER. I spent about 6 hours there, I got two bags of fluid, some blood taken(the first try!...God knew I couldn't handle anything more..) and a couple peices of toast(the best toast I ever tasted!) My pulse was pretty high, my blood sugar pretty low, but it got better the more fluids I got. Turns out that when you are on anitbiotics(which I was, for sinus infection) sometimes if you get a bug the side effects the antibiotic could cause can be worsened by the flu. I'd never heard of that before, but I'm sure the doc was right, b/c I was pretty sick. He told me to stop taking the antibiotic, drink gatorade-type drinks, avoid caffine and carbonation and slowly start eating again. Today I am pleased to report I feel MUCH better! I've eaten a couple waffles and some toast, been drinking my gatorade and trying to take it easy. I think I lost about 7-9 lbs in four days. Never care to be that sick again. Just wanted to tell everyone thanks for prayers, and a HUGE thank you to Gma Debbie, who took the kids for a little over three days. That was a tremendous help! Now Brent is sick, keep him in your prayers.
