Have you ever heard the "what's grosser than gross" jokes? Well mine is not so much of a joke. But maybe one day we can laugh about it.
Last night at 2:00 a.m. Savannah came to my bed to tell me she had a tummy ache. I told her to just get in bed with me and try to sleep. (Richard is gone for the hunt so we could share the bed) 30 minutes later she rolled over and cried, "mom" just in time to throw up all over.
I screamed and ran us both right to my bathroom. I put her over the toilet to finish. And I put myself in the shower to wash all the puke off of me. It was down my neck, down my arm all the way down my pajamas. After I showered and scrubbed down a couple of times ;) I put Savannah in the shower to get it out of her hair and off of her face!
I spent the next hour washing blankets and sheets and even had to get the steam vac out and steam clean parts of my carpet. (there was a trail to the bathroom.)
During all of this Valerie heard us and woke up wide eyed and bushy tailed ready for the day! I opened windows, turned the fan on and we opted to go lay down on the couches in the living room. I heard Savannah the rest of the night run to the bathroom every 30 minutes, bless her heart. As yucky as this incident was, it's amazing the things we can and will do for our kids; even as much as letting them throw up on us if need be. I also can't believe I can love somebody so much as my children.
Thank you Grandma Mare for coming over to watch my kids this morning with just a moments notice. You always pull through whenever your needed and we sure appreciate you.
