Stomach Bug & Smashed Finger

Have you ever had a week where you just felt like you weren't gonna make it? Well, that has been me this week. Both girls have had a stomach virus. Averi started out with it Tuesday night and had diarrhea then started throwing up during the night but she bounced back like a champ the next morning (but I was exhausted from being up with her). Then Mia started throwing up around lunch time on Wednesday. I thought we were out of the woods by bedtime because she seemed to be doing a little better but then she proceeded to throw up 3 more times (through the night and in the morning). I have never done so much laundry and cleaned SO much in my life.

On top of that, right about when I was reaching my limit lastnight (Wednesday) and Jon was about 30 minutes from getting home from work, Mia closed Averi's finger in the door. And when I say closed, I mean the entire door was shut (in the part where the hinge is). I was putting more laundry in and I hear a blood curdling scream, came running and found Averi with her finger still in the door. When I opened the door it was a complete zigzag. I mean I have no idea how it could not be broken. So I call Jon crying at this point. He tells me to wait until he gets home, he's on his way. By the time he got there her finger was swollen and red but had straightened out a good bit. And she was running around playing like nothing had happened. Although she would not let us touch it.

So, pray for us this week if you think about it. I'm thinking things are about to hopefully start getting better. The good news is SO FAR Jon or I have not gotten it yet...We'll see if that lasts. I have been sanitizing like crazy:) And I need some sleep in a major way! Maybe tonight...

Reading books together on the couch...this is on Tuesday before they got sick.

Eating popsicles (this was the "fun" part of being sick) :)


Averi when she was starting to feel better!

This is poor Mia after the last time she threw up. She was exhausted!

Averi kept leaning down and patting and kissing Mia:) She was so worried about her.
