A plague upon our house...

Well not really a plague, but it felt like it! Owen, Riley and I were hit by a bad case of food poisoning. I can take it (sorta...), but seeing my sweet babies sick breaks my heart. It's one thing to have a cold but a different story when your 3-year is scared and doesn't understand why he is throwing up. It hit the 3 of us in waves - Riley, me, then Owen.

To make matters worse, Nathan left the house just before it hit me leaving me very sick with the kids feeling yucky too. He was headed to the emergency room where he received an IV and blood tests. He left several hours later with the diagnosis of epididymitis and orchitis (2 bacterial infections)... and 5 prescriptions. He felt horrible and came home to Owen throwing up and me running to the bathroom every 5 minutes. Not ideal.

 My sweet baby girl feeling sick on my lap and then asleep on the couch.

This is what we are doing today....

The kids I can tell are feeling much better. Lots of running around and their attitudes are much happier! Me, well, better - not great. Nathan still feels pretty bad fighting the hardest to get well. 

Just another day in paradise. I wouldn't trade it for anything, even on the worst day.
