Is it our family’s destiny this winter to be ill?  I spend the better part of the day on the couch curled into a fetal position with severe abdominal cramping and a low grade fever.  Every time I got up I grew horribly dizzy and nauseous.  My first thought was food poisoning even though it seems a little long since our company supper Monday night.  Nothing seemed to help.  Not even Mom’s gold standard of three advil and a hot bath.  By three I was wondering what appendicitis feels like. 

Thank God I am now walking around at only a 20 degree angle instead of 90.  And aside from a residual ache on my right side and being sick on my stomach from a piece of toast, I feel a lot more normal. 

I can’t wait for Adam’s nightly, “please help us feel better in the morning” prayer tonight.

    If it’s any consolation, we’ve sure had our share of sickness this winter, too!!  Was starting to feel like we are some diseased family or something.  Several of my kids had three different rounds of something in a two month period….=/  And now just today my daughter shows me a rash she has all over her chest and belly, and I’m like what the world now??
