This past week..
Posted by ivy | Under Ivy Unleashed Sunday Jul 31, 2005Has been crazy wicked! First.. It all started Tuesday (the day I was going to post my next guest post) Well Tuesday started off like any other day around here does.. Everyone lazy, me trying to keep the kids quiet while Hubby sleeps in because he has to work that night. At about 7 pm Hubby calls me from work,”Come get me.. I’m sick”. I load all 3 kids up and high tail it down there. It takes 45 minutes to an hour to get to hubby’s job. We get there and he is waiting in his friends truck for me. He looks like hell. But hell I can deal with. We get home and he needs some meds so I leave to go to walmart to get some tylenol cold meds. I was gone about an hour..
When I got home I went to take them to him and he was b urning up. I took his temp which was a chore because he couldnt seem to hold it in his mouth long enough to get an accurate temp. Once it reached 103.5 I finally let him take it out of his mouth. It was still going up but he co uldnt keep it in his mouth any longer. I kept trying to talk to him but he was all weird and lethargic like and it scared me. I gave him some tylenol to try to get his temp down and he kept complaining about chest pains. After not being able to get anywhere with him and his responses to me and the way he looked I went and got his dad out of bed (they live next door) this was about 10 pm. His dad convinced him to go to the ER and got him in the truck for me. We live 45 min from he ER. When we got to the ER it was about 11:30. They took dh’s blood pressure and temp which was at 102.5 at that point and let us wait. They were suppose to hook him up for an EKG because he had been having chest pains. They never got around to it. At 1:20 Hubby said ,”Thats it.. I’m going home..” And home we did go.
We got home at about 3am because I had to get my youngest from my moms house. We get home and hubby starts vomiting. This went on ALL night long and all the next day. He was miserable, I was miserable, the kids were miserable. It wasn’t fun. Thursday he finally decides he has to see a dr. So he goes to the dr. The dr tells him he has a throat infection. Gives him mega antibiotics and with in 2 days dh feels better and the vomiting stops. BUT guess who has the mess now..
Yep you guessed right. Me.. I feel like i’ve been ran over. Of course I’m not as bad off as he was or I wouldnt be sitting here right now. I have slept all day today and I cant possibly sleep anymore! My back hurts from laying in the dang bed.. I can’t wait till we are over this mess.. Found out a few min ago that the lil girl down the road (diva’s best friend) had this last week.. Thats probably where we got it from.. FUN FUN! I’m hoping the kids do not get this mess as 2 of them start school in less than 2 weeks.. ![]()

Poor sweetie-pie!
I hope you get all better soon. Want me to bring you some chicken soup? *hug*
Oh man. I hope your hubby feels better soon. That does truly suck. Hopefully the kids (and you!) won’t come down with it too.
Oh, and Michele sent me.
Hows your hubby now? and How are you? Hope you are okay. and i’ll tell you what my dad does when he cant get a oral reading for the thermometer. He is a doc btw, [it sucks cuz i am as messy as he is clean. but he doesnt try meds on the word go.] he takes a reading from the armpit. thats almost good enough he says. you keep it a lil longer there.
hope everything will be alright soon!!!
Wow…I hope everyone is feeling better. Also sounds a bit like the flu.
