It really has been crazy. Since my last post where I mentioned I got food poisoning, well, let's just say it got worse and I was miserable! That was also the first time in my life I have thrown-up on the side of the road. I was really sick that Saturday night not keeping anything down but Sunday I was able to munch on some toast. The only thing bothering me was a really bad headache. I just thought it was because of being really sick the night before. Well, it got worse!
I got a sub for Monday, took my kids to Day Care and went home and tried to sleep it off. It was turning into a serious migraine. I felt better after getting more sleep so I tried going a half day to school on Tuesday. That just made the migraine come back so I scheduled a sub for the rest of the week. Wednesday I kept the kids home because they had a stomach bug and trying to take care of them with a migraine was the most painful, heartbreaking day ever. I couldn't even pick up Kayzee without blacking out and feeling like I was going to pass out. The more I tried to take care of my kids the worse I felt both physically and emotionally. Not resting made me feel sicker and not being able to care for my own kids hurt my mommyness side. Plus, this was my last week with my students and I was missing their last day of PE to have fun and say goodbye, especially to the 6th graders who I will not have next year.
So with my migraine which was all in my neck and the back of my head spreading up and down into my shoulder blades---I couldn't even pick up my baby, watch TV, be in any light, move my head, or eat. It made me so nauseous the thought of eating made me sick. I had already lost 7 lbs in 4 days. And I was popping ibuprofen like it was candy, making my stomach hurt. I knew it was time to see a dr.
Thursday, I took the kids to Day Care and went to see my favorite Doctor. He is so kind, takes the time to listen, and really does care about getting his patients better. He was concerned that the strain of food poisoning bacteria I got spread into my head, causing my migraine. WEIRD! I had driven myself so he couldn't give me the strongest drugs to drive home on so he just gave me a shot of ? (basically he told me it was tylenol on steroids). He also gave me painkillers, anti-nausea medicine (which knocked me out for a couple of hours) and some stomach acid neutralizers. He told me if the pain came back Friday morning I needed to go back in and get blood work done to see if they could pinpoint a cause and fix it that way. Luckily I felt fine:)
Friday, Danny's grandparents came and picked me and the kids up and we drove to Price to pick up Danny (who had been there registering his cars the day before). Then we headed the rest of the way to Blanding to stay with Danny's family for the 3 day weekend because his brother Benny is leaving to go on a mission today! Memphis got car sick on the way down (first time experiencing that) but we made it in good timing and the kids were actually really good considering the long ride being in a different car and not in our SUV with the DVD player. We had a wonderful weekend playing ping pong, hand and foot, going to the temple, golfing, basketball, watching movies, napping (I got to snuggle with my Memphis while he took a 2 hour nap-I LOVED IT), trying not to be blown over by the crazy wind, listening to Benny's farewell talk, and just enjoying being together. I did feel my migraine coming back with the nausea but I got a blessing and have felt fine since:)
I still cannot believe I didn't take a single picture. OH WELL.
Now we are back and I am finishing my last week of school (no students just cleaning up my room, dance festival, field day, awards, etc.) Kayzee was so spoiled this weekend being held by everyone so it has been a rough couple of days of lots of crying whenever we set her down. She is army crawling forward faster now, she can definitely get where she wants to go, and she is up on her hands and knees moving a few inches that way too. I could not deny it anymore and try to squeeze her in 12 month clothes so I finally pulled out all her 18 month clothes and she is not even 9 months old until Saturday. She is a chunk but a cute one at that! I take her for her 9 month check-up on Monday so I will let you know how that goes. Hopefully we can move on to whole milk instead of expensive formula. Kayzee and Memphis now wear the same size diaper (size 4) which is nice but it just shows how skinny Memphis is at 2 years old and how chunky Kayzee is at almost 9 months old.
I LOVE my kids and can't wait to spend the summer with them:)
