It's been to long

Well, it has been too long since my last post, and I feel guilty about it. There are things that I should talk about. I will split it up a bit, so, here is the first part. Warning- some icky body things described below. Not for the easily grossed out.

I have been sick, and I mean really sick. I was having abdominal pain, and my OB thought it was gynecological, and I had an infection somewhere inside. I was on two different antibiotics but it wasn't helping. I was admitted to the hospital for IV antibiotics and observation, and even had a laproscopy done for my girly parts. They found nothing. The next possibility was digestive, which it did turn out to be. Unfortunately, the doctors at the hospital didn't think that it was that, and had no other explanation, so they sent me home. When I saw my GP the next day, she found the problem and her advise cleared things up within two days. Unfortunately things started back two days later, so I went to a specialist and he ordered a test to check for a blockage and other basic issues. I am still waiting for results, four days later.

Other than this, the entire family got the stomach flu. The boy was the source of the bug (we think because of the contact in the childcare at the YMCA), and he started symptoms Friday after Thanksgiving. Saturday, the other three of us got symptoms, all at once, within an hour of each other. So, everyone was vomiting, taking turns in the bathroom. We put ourself into quarantine and tried to make it through it. Being sick and puke-y trying to care for the little ones was a very difficult challenge. I just wanted to rest and sip chicken broth, but instead I was cleaning up messes and listening to the crying. The girl and I were done with it by Sunday night, but husband carried out the less attractive parts for about 10 days. The boy lasted longer and couldn't take any milk. It was hard because he would just cry and cry for it. He drank the juice, but asked for milk between sips.
