"Hang in there"
These are the words that pulled me through the day...
Yes, I cried and there are times I wished I could die...
It started out on Tuesday night around 11pm when I felt some pains on and off on my joint and muscles... impending flu coming and I also get nose blocked and runny nose as well.
The next day when I woke up, I was tired and decided no teaching kiddos for the day. I just need to rest and I let my kids watched TV (Toy Story, Doraemon movies) I made oats for my kids for breakfast and had some bread for myself.
Lunch time came and I fed my boy tuna with oat biscuits while my girl had the oat biscuits only (she doesn't like tuna) and then my boy vomited. All over the kitchen floor.
I'm trying hard to pull myself together while I wipe the floor as my boy stood crying at the mess.
Once clean, I brought them upstairs, rest on my bed with my kids and my boy vomited again on our bed. I did what I could, cupped the vomit with my 2 hands, but it just come and come and overflows and I couldn't get up on time and there's no way I could open the bathroom door (which is closed at all times) so I did what I could only think of,
I flung the vomit on the floor. Away from the bed.
Sigh... then I cleaned myself, my boy, put my girl in the playpen, mopped the floor and changed the bedsheet.
Googled around for what to give for upset tummy and after vomit incidents in kids and gave my kids some yogurt and rice crackers.
My boy napped after that folloewd by my girl. And I finally managed to get about half hour rest before my #$&^%&^ neighbor continued their drilling again (they are renovating their house)
My hubby got home around 6pm and he said we should bring our boy to see our family doctor. Then Ben told me he wants to vomit and I quickly brought him to our bathroom sink and he vomited again. We got ready and left our girl with my mother in law to feed her dinner.
After the clinic visit, we got back home, made a little bit oats with a bit sugar inside (for energy) Ben had some and told me he wants to burp...
and he vomited.
Total 4 times now for the day.
This time hubby cleaned, wiped and mopped the floor. I didn't put Ben's potty close enough to catch the vomit but then I didn't expect he will vomit when he says he wants to burp.
Sigh...
In the end, hubby said give Ben a lollipop and immediately Ben perks up and we can immediately see the change in him. A little more energy and back to his usual chirpy self.
LOLLIPOP.
And also, at one point Ben told me he doesn't have stomach ache anymore because God protects him.
Hang in there...
Thank you God for your protection over our family.
