The ever-so-popular and ruthless stomach bug has hit the Griffin household, one person at a time. My sweet Lilly caught it first, and I don't think there's truly anything worse than watching your baby suffer. I try to keep the house clean and we are always washing our hands and using antibacterial gel when we're out, but when something like the stomach bug creeps up, there's nothing you can do but accept it and let it run its course (and hopefully it is over fast!) Thankfully for us, it is only a 24-48 hr bug, so Lilly's pretty much back to normal. Yesterday night, I was up all night near the toilet throwing up and let me tell you, I'd rather have anything than this, I'd even take a sore throat over a constantly churning, painful nauseous stomach. Well, today I feel MUCH better and was even able to sleep most of the night last night (except for the fact that it was my poor hubby's turn to be the one next to the toilet, so needless to say, we both lost hours of sleep.) When your husband or children are sick, we as moms drop everything and immediately take the role as Dr. Mom! =) I don't care what else I need to get done, the house being picked up can wait, running errands can wait, but taking care of (and spoiling, of course) of your sick family takes priority. I must admit I do love the extra snuggle time I get when Lilly is sick! =) Anyway, my poor sweet hubby had first shift for work today, so I am praying he makes it through the day and feels better as the day goes on like I did... and HOPEFULLY this nasty little stomach bug's butt is completely kicked by Thanksgiving in a few days and we all have our holiday appetite back! =)
