Sunday, the day after Damon's birthday party we were at my parents house for dinner. Around 7:00 that evening I started feeling a little sick to my stomach and decided to lay down. Shortly after I got extremely sick and after about an hour and a half of straight vomiting (on both ends) I asked my mom to drop me off at the hospital. I knew that I would not be able to make it through the entire night of this and I needed to get some relief. Luckily I was at my parents house so Damon was able to stay with my dad while my mom drove me to the hospital. On my way out I told Damon that I was sick and had to see the doctor and that I would see him after school the next day. He was very sad and gave me a hug and said "I don't want you to go to the doctor. I don't want you to leave me." It was so pitiful but I promised him I would be back.
My mom got me into the E.R. and I sent her home to Damon because I knew he would need her. I was in the E.R. until about 1:30 the next morning and my mom came back to take me to her house. I slept in the next day and she took Damon to school for me. That entire day I was so weak and dizzy. I laid in the bed almost the entire day until it was time to get Damon.
After a night like that you don't feel the same for a couple of days so I had to break all of the rules that I have for Damon because I was just not able to do much. When I told him he could watch t.v. on a school night while I lay on the couch he said:
Damon: "I can? Are you still sick?"
Mommy: "Yes, I still do not feel well so you may watch t.v. and I'll lay down with you."
Damon: "Mommy, who is going to take care of you?"
Mommy: "Well Damon, Mommy's a big girl so I can take care of myself but I could use your help. I need you to watch t.v. with me and be real still."
Damon: "okay mommy, you can lay on my lap."
What a little sweetheart. He was so good all week as I nursed myself back to recovery.
