Poor baby

Mikayla has been sick this week with some kind of stomach bug- and luckily for me she has been funny! Don't get me wrong, I feel awful that she is sick. It's wasn't funny that she threw up all over my bed- but it reminded me of the movie "parenthood" when the dad, played by Steve Martin, said it's ok if you have to throw up and the little girl let's it all go right there on his bed! Thy was how it happened- I had no warning! Then of course all she could do was apologize for getting sick. So the next day she seemed to be better- not sick at all just some times when her stomach hurt- but I explained that it takes a while for it to get back to normal. So I would ask her how she is feeling and she would hold up her fingers like she was measuring something an say " this much more normal" so I thought we were in the clear... Then on Wednesday she woke up saying it was hurting and it was not normal something was wrong- I asked where it hurt and she kept saying all over, one time I asked how it felt and she answered " like my tummy is going to explode" and then she would be fine playing with her brother. I was worried that it was coming and going- she wasn't throwing up anymore so then I was worried about her appendix. Mine never hurt on the lower right side and I never had a fever and my pain came and went. So when another pain wave came through I asked her how she felt and she said " I can't walk, I feel like I'm gonna go to heaven" and then she threw up- I called the Dr! They said I need to keep an eye on her and if she keeps crying and can't walk for 2 hours then I need to take her in. So she cried for a little bit and then daddy came home and she ran to him and then we went to a friends house for dinner ( she said she was feeling better) and she was running around playing and jumping all over, but anytime someone asked her how her stomach was she would fall down and say "it hurts- I have a bug you know". It was funny, I don't likethat she was in so much pain but I think from now on when I am in pain I'm going to say " it feels like I'm going to go to heaven" instead of "I think I'm going to die"! It just sounds better!
