Back from the dead
12.28.04 (1:18 am) [edit]Hi, I am waking up after being unconscious or semi-unconscious for three (? not sure) days. I was sick; my sister was sick first, my mom was sick, my boyfriend was sick and now, finally, my dad is sick. Too bad, now he can't work tomorrow :( He needs to work really badly.
On the upside, it was incredible to have my mom there, nursing me back to health. She has an amazing bedside manner, which she says she got from her mom. Mom was patient, kind and gentle with us all as we were sick. She helped us even when she was feeling icky. Yay for wonderful mothers!!! I dream of being home every time I am sick, just so she can stroke my back and soothe my brow.
So, my bf is still sick and my dad is still sicker. Keep them in your prayers.
Skip this if vomiting makes you queasy or disgusted!
Final count . . .
Bethany (sister) = threw up 16 times in 24 hours
Me = threw up 11 times in 7 hours
Chuck = threw up 6 times in 12 hours
Dad = threw up 1 time (yet to be done, I think)
Mom = threw up 0 times in 24 hours
Hmm, I think Mom won this contest!

Hi Hope, Thanks for the beautiful encouragement. When you love the ones you are caring for, it's not hard to help them when they are sick. I just wish we didn't have to go through that for Christmas, especially after the last two bad experiences on the last two Christmases. Maybe better next year! Love Mom
