What is the deal?!

Well this week has been a crazy week! Friday the 1st Austin woke up with pink eye, and I woke feeling queezy. We went to aerobics (i teach it) and I taught my new routine (high intensity) for the first time. That didn't help me at all! I couldn't eat or drink anything at all the entire day on Friday or saturday. I just laid around trying to make my stomach stop feeling sick. I called into the doctor on Fri to get austin some meds for his eyes and mustered up the strength to go into the pharmacy and pick it up. Fridays are really busy for them, especiall ones before a holiday, so even the lighter used pharmacy upstairs was packed. But we got the drops and surprisingly Austin did really well. He thought the drops felt funny and didn't fight too much. Once daddy tried to do it he didn't find it as fun anymore, but eventually was back to not minding. It worked out well since we have to use the drops 4x a day for 7 days. Great job baby boy!

Sat. came around and of course I still felt like garbage. I now had a terrible headache due to dehydration. Luckily Danny was home this weekend and took great care of me, and took the brunt of responsibility with Austin. Poor Austin kept looking at me and wanting to play with and be held by me. I felt so bad that I couldn't play with him or hold him for too long.  I could see on Austin's face that he could tell something was wrong but he wasn't sure what it was. He just knew that he had to spend all day and do everything with daddy (not a bad thing) and that mommy would give him hugs but couldn't do anything else with him. It broke my heart to see him trying to figure out what was going on.

Sun. was a better day. I could drink water and eat some foods. Although my stomach was very particular with what food, and I still couldn't put too much of food or fluids down at any given time. At least it was something. I tried to eat crackers and toast and things that you would thing would easy your stomach, but that stuff was what my stomach told me it wanted nothing to do with. So trying to find something to eat was a difficult task because it isn't my week to cook so I have nothing good to choose from.

Mon. was a lot better. Austin finally woke without puffy eyes (discharge had been gone since first day, eyes didn't puff shut till after started the drops (weird)). I could actually move around upright. I also enjoyed my fourth of July festivities of swimming, and yes eating! I was really digging the hamburgers. So grateful I could hold it down and drink all the water I wanted. I was so happy! (I come from a family of eaters, and judging by the size of me you know I like my food :) )

Tues. I lost my voice, Austin started coming down with a cold. Wed. I came down with a terrible cough due to extreme scratchiness in my throat, which lozenges didn't help with any of it, nor did they soothe the sore throat the ensued because of so much coughing. I also came down with a cold on that day as well. Luckil Austin's cold wasn't a big one. Mine on the other hand is not very small. And the icing on the cake is that today, Fri, I awoke with Pink eye!

This has been a crazy week! I don't usually get sick and if I do it doesn't get very harsh and doesn't last very long but I tell ya, this week has just driven me nuts!

WHAT IS THE DEAL!
