A Whirlwind of a Week

Both kids have been sick on and off for over 3 weeks; one virus on top of another. Well little Miss Makayla’s two year old little body couldn’t take much more vomiting and was admitted into the hospital on Sunday morning. Both kids had been to the doctor the last Thursday and were put on medicine for an upper respiratory infection. I was told the vomiting was from that but I knew better. She was up all night Saturday vomiting and we called the doctors office first thing Saturday but they told us to just keep her hydrated and let the bug run its course. Well, our little darling couldn’t even keep fluids down so by the time Tim took her to Children’s Hospital on Sunday morning she was really dehydrated. I was a complete mess but somehow managed to ‘appear’ kept together. It had already been such a busy week preparing for my sisters wedding, which was Sunday by the way (Congrats April & Scott! We love you!). Makayla was suppose to be April and Scott’s sweet little flower girl but of course she wasn’t able to. She would have made a beautiful one too, but she is my beautiful flower girl everyday. They ran so much saline into her; we actually went through 20 diapers from Sunday morning till Tuesday afternoon. So we are finally home and I’m so happy. She is not completely better yet but she is feeling a ton better and not vomiting anymore. The last week has been a difficult one, trying to take care of sick kids, work a high-demanding job, and attend wedding events. I am so thankful that God was with us through it all. He is my mighty sustainer.

...Here are some pics from MG's stay at the hospital.
