Just My Friggin' Luck

So, things had been going surpringly well around here lately. No sickness (which is a big thing around here), no real stress (other than the usual holiday stress), just relaxing and enjoying things going well.

Wednesday night when I went to bed I was feeling a little queasy but I didn't think anything of it. I just rolled over and went to sleep. But at 5:30am I wake up with this incredible pressure in my chest and the odd stabbing pain right around the diapragm area. I tried to ignore it and go back to sleep and was actually successful for awhile, but then the queasiness came back and all of a sudden out of nowhere, full on stomach flu. Yuckies.

So at about 11am I decided to go up to the hospital because I was still having the chest pains. My mom came over to watch Addy and I went up. The chest pains got chalked up to just being related to the tummy woes and all the lovely cramping, but I was so dehydrated I had to spend the entire day in the ER on that stupid uncomfortable bed/stretcher thingie hooked up to an IV. And I forgot to tell the nurse that I'm allergic to the medical tape so now I have a big ugly rash all over my arm everywhere the tape was touching. And I developed a fever while I was there. Well, technically, I already had it seeing as my normal body temperature is around 34-35C and it was 36.something when I got there, but by the afternoon it was up in the high 38C range.

Today I feel alot better, although definitely not fully recovered. But now Addy has a nasty fever and is not feeling well. She also has a bit of a bum rash, so at this point I'm just going to assume teething. I just really hope she doesn't get what I have/had because she's so tiny I'm sure she'd end up in the hospital.

The ballet is tomorrow and although I think I should be fine to go, I'm a little concerned with my girlie. She is supposed to go to her grandparents' house but if she's sick and not feeling well I don't know how I feel about leaving her in a strange environment with people she isn't overly familiar with.
