sick and tired of being sick and tired


here in the unnasch household, we are sick and tired of getting sick...

last week, i had a terrible case of strep throat and was out of school for 3 days (although the doctor said i should have been out all week) and sick all weekend. 5 days of fever. with an extremely sore throat and being so nauseated, i couldn't hold liquid down. this caused me to become very dehydrated. the dehydration led to my blood sugar going way below normal and i almost fainted. the doctors had to hook me up to an IV to get some liquid in my stomach and to give me the medicine that i coudn't hold down. the doctors said if i couldn't keep some liguid down, i would have to be hospitalized. luckily, i was a able to take some strong medicine that allowed me to keep liquids down and recovered.

less than a week later...adam is now a little sickie. he had the same symptoms lastnight that i had except no sore throat (thankfully). i can only pray that he gets better soon and that i don't get what he has because i am "sick and tired of being sick and tired" and having our home full of sickness. it looks like he is feeling much better today so i am crossing both fingers.
