I am sick. Sick, sick, sick! I am sneezing and snuffling and coughing and just plain SICK! Somehow though, life manages to go on. No one jumps in and offers to let me sleep all day, while they do the dishes or cook or do laundry. Mommys have to keep going.
Please pray that my Peanut doesn't get any worse. She has a stuffy nose, and she's sneezing a lot. If she starts retching with feeds, we're in the ER for IV's. Unfortunately with her metabolic disorder, she can't go without food/hydration for more than three hours. So a normal icky cold always lands us in the ER.
Can you imagine? They wouldn't know which of us to treat first! Please pray this doesn't happen.
We used to revel in the "new perfect" that was our life. Raising a beautiful girl with multiple special needs showed us that "perfect" is all in our minds. Emily's life was perfect. It was happy, it was brilliant. She was social, outgoing, silly, and ticklish. Now we are learning to get through life without our "Perfect Peanut" in it. This is most certainly NOT a new kind of perfect.

Hope you are both feeling better real soon! It's so scary when our children get sick, because the first thing we think of is, "Will this send them to the hospital?!"
And, no sick days for mommies, is too true! Life still goes on, especially when your child depends on you for so much! It's not like the dishes, that can wait to be taken care of when you are feeling better! Hang in there!
