Week of Sickness!!!

I can't even begin to stress how SICK my family has been this week. I think I should've been in the hospital. It started 3 weeks ago with Miley having her first ear infection (double ear infection). She did her round of antibiotics and seemed better. The next week Riley had his turn with double ear infections. Antibiotics seemed to work and things were getting back to normal until the day I was to leave for a weekend with the girls at a scrapbook retreat. I woke up spitting dark green stuff and feeling really yucky. I should've gone to the doctor but I had so much to do before I left that I thought it could wait til Monday. Boy, I wish I'd listen to my gut and went to the doctor. I was miserable all weekend. After returning home I noticed that the kids didn't seem to be feeling all that well so off we all 3 went to the doctor first thing on Monday. Turns out the kids were both still suffering from the ear infections and one of Riley's ears was "leaking". Yeah, green stuff running out of his ear-gross! On top of that Riley had the croop! More medicine to fill and more to come. I kept feeling worse and worse because I couldn't get the rest I needed because the kids needed their Mommy, of course. On Wednesday night Miley started throwing up and having really bad diarhea. This went on most of the night. Curtis let me sleep about 3 hours the next morning. I dealt with the kids and myself not feeling well until I started throwing up about 8:30pm. I was very VERY upset at this time because my husband wouldn't stay home and help me out. I was vomiting about every 15 minutes and didn't know how I was going to manage 2 sick kids through another night alone. Thankfully, my Mom kept Miley overnight so I could take care of myself. That didn't last for long though because Riley started vomiting about midnight. Now it was me vomiting, Riley vomiting, me cleaning it up and then vomiting over and over and over. Riley threw up so bad upstairs in my bed that I called Curtis to come home from work and clean it up. I tried but the bed had to be moved - REALLY BAD!!! Curtis wouldn't come home so it sat there all night fumigating the house. I got to sleep about 2 hours the next morning while Curtis dealt with Riley and then he had to go to bed. Miley is home now and I'm alone with the kids once more. Miley continued to have explosive diarhea which most of the time demanded a bath afterwards. It's Sunday now and I think my household has recovered - except me. There's lots more to the story but I won't go on. I know most of you can relate so I'm spilling my guts, literally. I think my sinus congestion has moved to my chest now. I may return to the doctor tomorrow and demand a SHOT! I'm in great hopes that since I have the time to tend to myself a little bit and get some rest that I will recover promptly.
