Oh what a weekend

This past Saturday started out like every other Saturday. Nothing out of the ordinary and I felt fine too...up until 5pm. I started to feel a little nauseous and light headed. I didn't think much of it and laid on the floor while Landen played. Around 6pm Landen had dinner, gave him a bath and around 7pm he was in bed. I then realized I hadn't eaten yet and maybe that's why I was feeling a little sick. I ate dinner and then decided to lay down and watch some t.v to see if that helped. Didn't seem to be working...I still felt sick. I called Corbin (who was on call) and told him I was going to take a shower and go to bed to sleep this off. Little did I know I wouldn't be sleeping much that night. It all started in the shower and it never slowed down. I got so sick and it came on so fast. I had food poisoning! It was a nightmare! I wanted Corbin to be home so badly. When I thought nothing could possibly be left in my stomach more came. Around midnight I couldn't handle it by myself anymore. I had Corbin call some dear friends over to give me a blessing. I needed help from higher power. I couldn't take care of Landen tomorrow if every 15 mins I was rushing to the bathroom. The blessing said I would heal by morning. Was 12am considered morning?? Not a chance. Six is considered morning:) Two positive things about this situation was:

A. I am very blessed to have Landen sleep through the night. I would not have been able to do this if I was getting up every couple of hours.

B. I am so blessed to have a husband as an Anesthesiologist!

I wasn't able to drink anything, so I was so dehydrated. And I obviously need fluids to make milk. I could tell there wasn't much for Landen to drink. When Corbin came home the next morning at 7:30 he brought all the necessary equipment to give me an IV. He gave me 2 liters of fluid and I immediately felt so much better!! Not bad huh?
A pretty good set up.
I am so glad I didn't need to go to the hospital and sit there and wait for hours and spend all that money. As Corbin was giving me the IV I asked him, "Aren't you glad you know how to do this?" He said "Amy...you should be glad I can do this!" And he is right. I am so glad!

ugh!!! That is the worst. But, it's so good to see that you've got some sweet connections. Good luck as you get back on the mend.

Poor Amy! At least Corbin is able to do that, Brandon would never let me stick him with a needle-no matter how bad off he is. Hope you feel better.

Yuck, food poisoning is not fun! I'm glad Corbin was able to help you out, and I'm sure the blessing helped too. I hope you feel better.

oh my goodness I hate throwing up!!! What a nightmare. I am glad you were not in the emergency room either. It is so like a mother though, here you are throwing up up a gut and you are worried about Landon getting enough milk--What a great Mom!

AMY! I am so sorry! Throwing up is the worst. It reminds me of when you guys were living with us here- and we all got deathly sick at the exact same time! (well, except for josh since he never gets sick!) What good memories huh? I hope you are feeling better now and don't get that again for a while!
