Sick & Tired...again!

After Claire got sick Monday and Tuesday I got sick. Thursday night I felt weird. I wasn't nauseous I just knew that I was going to get sick. Well sure enough the next morning about 9am the diarrhea and nausea started. I was so mad because it was Halloween, and Kev and I were going to take Claire trick or treating for the first time. Also, my in-laws always make chili dogs and frito pie on Halloween, and I was looking forward to that! I pushed through the fatigue and got Claire dressed in her Princess Aurora costume, fixed her hair, and put on her crown. I had to rest after that so Kev put her shoes on her.

We drove to Mid-County and stopped by Phil Bill's house, a friend of Kevin's at work. Before we left the house we practiced with Claire for about 5-10 minutes about how to open her bag and say trick or treat. She did so good at home and in the car, but when we got to Phil's house she got shy and told me to say it. After that we hit a couple more people's houses and went to Nick and Danita's place to visit. By that time I was feeling better so I made the mistake of eating some frito pie and a hot dog. About 10 minutes later I was in the bathroom! :( So I think Claire was a little too young to trick or treat this year, but next year she should do good.

You know when somebody in the family gets sick all of the family has to have a turn, right? I think that takes sharing a little too far. Anyway, so Monday Kev stayed home from work because he had a horrible headache and blurry vision. Then Monday night at about 11pm he started throwing up and having diarrhea. He was more sick than Claire or me. He was sick nonstop for 12 hours. We called Kev's uncle and grandpa to come at about 1am to give him a blessing. We then called Danita to come just in case I had to take Kevin to the ER. We didn't want to have to wake Claire up. Finally at 10:30 I was able to give Kevin some Fenergan that his doctor called in for him. After that he was able to sleep. It knocked him out pretty good. He's doing a lot better now. He's just really tired and sore from laying in bed for so long. He also bit his tongue at some point and it's pretty swollen in one spot. When Danita left yesterday she took Claire for the day and later decided that Claire was going to spend the night over there. She came home today saying that she had fun with D, Aunt Squirt, and Aunt Kim. I'm glad she was able to spend some time over there and that she had fun.

I spent today DEEP cleaning my house. I washed walls, fans, and even vacuumed the ceiling in the living room. I don't want any of us to get sick again. I also don't want Gianna to get sick when I watch her tomorrow.
