Sick Baby

Yesterday (Sunday) was my first true test of taking care of my husband. His test happened on our honeymoon when I get sick from eating some Jamaican Chinese food (go figure) and he passed with flying colors. Chris coincidentally got food poisoning along with three of his friends after working the Charlotte Shout Festival downtown on Saturday. All 4 of them are were in the bed sick as dogs and couldn't move and if they did they would vomit. Chris did a total of 4 times and in between he would mumble every time I would ask him if he needed something so I interpreted the best I could. He had a fever at one point and I put a cold rag on his head and he woke up an hour later and said, "when did you put that rag on my head?" He was pretty out of it all day. I finally got him to eat some crackers at about 5pm and then a little later I made him chicken noodle soup and he just drank the broth. He was so pitiful!

Dakota even knew he was sick because she laid on the floor beside the bed for about an hour and decided that wasn't helping him very much so she decided to jump on the bed (for the 1st time, she got some hops!) and snuggled right beside him for another 2 hours. While they were snoozing I got so much done around the house! Chris missed work today for the first time but he can't hardly sit up because his back and his head hurt so badly. Pray that a day of rest will help him! That is all she wrote!
