Last week (my first full week of school with my students) was a KILLER!! Not only did I begin the week with a stomach bug, but Harrison quickly came down with it on Thursday after school. His was so bad, though, that we ended up taking him to the pediatric ER that evening because he could not stop throwing up and was so lethargic and pale. Long story short, we ended up taking him back to the ER Saturday evening and turns out he was dehydrated but they said not severely dehydrated. However, he was dehydrated enough that they couldn’t even start an IV for fluids because his little veins kept collapsing 😢 It was the longest day ever because we didn’t get home until 3AM Sunday. As I write this Sunday evening, I thought he was starting to get a little better until he started throwing up again. This has been so hard to watch because I’m doing everything I can to keep him hydrated and well and it’s like it’s not working, and I feel helpless. Motherhood, I guess?
……..
Okay, so onto my random thoughts that I’ve had for the past week haha!
-I HATE THIS HEAT!!! I am so ready for fall weather to get here so I can start dressing in fall clothes. I have to admit though, I have loved summer clothing for Harrison–seeing his cute little feet in Sun Sans Sandals melts me!
-It’s always a goal of mine to eat healthier; however, I’ve really been committed to it lately, and I’m always proud of myself when I make better choices. For example, at the start of school for teachers, our partner in education provided a catered Olive Garden lunch for us. I made a salad and did indulge myself in getting alfredo, but I skipped the breadsticks and dessert–I call that a win in my book! And it’s always nice when you can start seeing results from your better choices.
-I am obsessed with Gilmore Girls, so thank you to everyone who made me watch it!!! If I had more time on my hand, I would binge it nonstop, but I’m strategic in my watching because I’ve really got to pay attention to the storyline. The show is hilarious, and I know I’ve said it before, but it’s making me crave the fall!!!
-Here’s a sweet video I want to share of Harrison Wednesday night before he got sick. His laugh is the sweetest!!
That boy, so sweet and I’m so sorry you guys were sick. It breaks my heart. I hope this week is MUCH better and you guys feel back to normal and praying for a cool down for ya!
I am so sorry that you guys had such a rough weekend. I really hope that Harrison is feeling so much better. Sending you lots of love!
Awww, hope Harrison is better today. <3 Gilmore Girls is SO good. Definitely one of my favorites… and several people on my staff love it, too. One of them watches an episode every morning while she's getting ready!
I hope he's feeling better soon. Love hearing that laugh!
ARgh, hope he's on the mend now!! It's definitely not fun to watch knowing you can only do so much.. 🙁
Oh I love GG!! Though I haven't watched the newest season.
I'm so sorry you had to go through all of that. How scary. I hope he's on the mend soon, and prayers that nobody else gets it.
Oh no! Sounds like this week was rough. I hope you have a much better week!
