We made it!

I survived my first stomach bug as a mom. It was the worst timing, Ryan has his last CPA test this week. So he is trying to cram in lots of study time. I was at a training Friday and started feeling horrible at the very end, left and made it A.M.'s, she was keeping Ava for me, threw up there, called Ryan to come get us then had the most miserable next 24 hours, was in tears more than once. All over body aching, fever, chills and vomitting for 12 hours then the next 12 was the craziest heart burn, the pain was raidiating from chest all the way up to my shoulder and my inner ear. I had gone to the doctor the evening it started but as I was afraid of they confirmed with breast feeding I couldn't take any of the good stuff. I could of given her formula for the weekend but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. Plus the meds would of knocked me out and I still needed to help with Ava as much as I could so Ryan could study. So we gritted our teeth and got through it with help from Ryan, Aunt Amy, extra strength Tylenol and some Zantac. I woke up today much better. Now off to Lysol and clean the house top to bottom!

Oh yea, and a side note: I thought I gave it to Rory, she would not leave my side all that time, she was shaking all over too and then went outside and also vomitted at one point. Everything I googled said dogs can't get our virus' but one theory is they are so in tune with us they can mimic the symptoms? which sounds crazy to me. Whatever it is, she seems recovered too.
