I'm sick. And it's yuck. Sunday evening I got really sick...the whole thing (if ya know what I mean). I couldn't keep anything down either way. After 12 hours of hideousness, I was SO dehydrated...my body was not right. Apparently when your electrolytes get so low, you begin to tingle all over. It was awful. Tingling down my face, in my arms, in my knees, everywhere. We went to the ER ....
where I had to get 2 bags worth of IV fluids through me. Well, I got just a little of the 2nd bag, but where they put in the IV was starting to hurt, and I told the nurse. She said it was infultrated, and the liquid was leaking out and ballooning up my arm. (That's because the guy had a really hard time putting in the IV to begin with because my vains were flat from being dehydrated.) I opted to take the IV out and just go home and drink a lot of fluids. I'm still having some issues, but I can at least walk to the bathroom by myself now. I'm regaining some strength, and I've at least had chicken broth. (Nothing has ever tasted so warm and good.) I'm sick of laying on the couch, which is why I'm blogging now :-)
A HUGE thank you to Jessica & Joanna for loving on Abby for the day. I called Jessica at 6:45am to see if she could watch Abby while we went to the hospital. What a wonderful friend to even take a call that early in the morning! Thanks a million!
I'm so very sad because I have not held or kissed on my baby girl since Sunday night. My parents came to help with Abby so Josh could go back to work. Nobody wants to kiss and love on me either because nobody wants to get what I have. (Well my mom loves on me, but moms are amazing like that) Sad day. On top of that, Abby just started throwing up today. She's thrown up twice. Please pray for my little family. I just can't stand it knowing Abby got sick because of me.

Oh my friend. I know your feelings on being sick. I am so sorry that you are under the weather, but I am glad that you have good friends and family that are taking care of you. You are in my prayers!
Love, Ashley
Oh yucky... I'm sad that you are sick because I know that's no fun at ALL! I hope that Abby is doing better today and know that I am thinking about you!
That Stinks!! I hope you are feeling better and that Abby is too.
Well, even though it was under such yucky circumstances it was so great to talk to you tonight! I hope that all of you start feeling better very soon. Please give Abby a big ole hug from me (and have Josh give one to you from me while we're at it). I miss you guys, and I'll keep you updated on the changes as they come.
Grandma found out you were sick from your dad. I am glad you have friends to call on and will help. I know that is why God gave us such good friends. I had something like that last year coming home from Uncle Vinnie's. When it hits you are are DOWN for the count. Please take care of yourself and I hope you get to feeling better.
From everyone in KS we love you all!

I'm glad that you are getting better. I was calling the other night to see how you were feeling, but I totally understand no wanting to talk. I hope that this weekend is good for you. Talk to you soon!
I'm sorry y'all haven't been feeling well. Addison is just geting over a sinus infection and pink eye. That's nothing compared to your story, though. I hope y'all get better SOON. I can't imagine not feeling well and not being able to hold Addison.
Hi! Just wanted to check on ya and see if you all are feeling better! :)
