Yep.

I’m too tired to write much tonight.  Exhausted doesn’t even begin to describe it.  Avelyn is still sick.  Going on six days of the ear infection, diarrhea and vomit, vomit, vomit.  Sometimes the vomit would come and go but today it came back with a vengeance.  She just cried and cried and cried all weekend.  I felt like the worst mother in the world because I couldn’t take care of her.  I had to pack the house, pack the truck, clean the house, paint her bedroom walls, drive to San Antonio, unload the truck, and I’m supposed to go back to Houston tomorrow.  Just writing that sentence made my head swim again.

Kevin also caught whatever she had and so did his dad.  By the grace of God my MIL has avoided it and I have too.  We thought she was getting better yesterday but today was just awful.  Depending on how she looks in the morning we may take her in again.  I’m worried about her getting dehydrated since she can’t keep anything down and she’s fighting taking anything in the bottle.  I know she is hungry and wants formula but she can only keep down clear liquids in teeny tiny amounts. 

I am thankful it’s just a passing stomach bug and nothing serious but oh my goodness, her pitiful cries and scared look on her face when she’s throwing up just break my heart.  I want my happy Hobo back!

PS – THANK YOU Lillian for your wonderful help on Friday.  You helped me more than you know and I am so, so, sorry you caught the plague! I owe you big time!
