It is finally time to
rest my tired head down on the pillow and catch up on them much needed ZZzzz’s.
On Saturday we
returned from the Murray River and I bought back with me the most horrible of
horrible surprises--- A gnarly tummy bug L Now not only did this make me feel
horrible and not be able to meet it also upset me knowing I would more then
likely pass it onto the rest of the family as that is usually what happens in
this house; once one gets sick we all get sick.
Well it started off
with the runs really bad to the point when I needed to go I needed to go even
if that meant in the middle of the bush somewhere between NSW and Melbourne we
had to stop for a toilet break then that’s what happened.
Then in the morning I
woke up feeling like I had been hit with the flu something shocking- sore eyes,
headaches, sweats, shivers, loss of appetite, body aches and then of course
there was still the pesky runs.
Well it is now Tuesday
and the runs are still with me, so I hit up my chemist for some Hydralite and
also some Gastro Stop tablets (SAVIOUR!!!) As I now can say I have not gone to
the toilet for over 2 hours, which in the past days has been a record by far.
Sadly though my
youngest Madison (2) woke up three times last night drowning in vomit. Which
meant I had to get up and change the sheets and clothing many times.
It is one thing when
you are sick but it is even worse when your kids get sick and you cant take
away their pain and suffering.
But in true Madison style
not even that could keep her down and she kept on smiling through the groggy
naps and joking around making her sister and Mummy laugh as always. It is
amazing how even when kids are sick they have such a beautiful nature and
attitude towards it.
Luckily Hayley my
eldest and Matt have not caught it (touch wood) but they do have some great
immune systems going on and Hayley did keep her distance from me telling me she
likes to share but not the bugs as she doesn’t like bugs J Cutie Pie
Now I am to scared to
re-introduce foods into my tummy as I am not to sure what is safe and what is
not.. Any recommendations and what did you do to help your little ones get
through their tummy bugs and gastro? Any help that can be given will be muchly
appreciated.
