After school, we headed to my doctor because I've been coughing like a fiend. I had 4 months' worth of pneumonia when I was pregnant with Charlotte and I do NOT want to repeat that; it was definitely not fun to have broken ribs while growing a baby!! And it turns out I headed to the doc just in time. I have a good case of bronchitis that would have likely been headed toward pneumonia if I'd not gotten treatment. I'm on antibiotics and feeling generally miserable.
Just as I was settling in for a nice afternoon nap to help get rid of my headache and give me a better chance of feeling well, Sarah came downstairs and proclaimed, "Mom, I puked all over my bed and the floor." Surely enough, there was clear evidence that she was not mistaken. I cleaned it up and put her back to bed. Less than 30 minutes later, she came down and said she couldn't sleep. She proceed to vomit again, and again, and again until 8:30pm. Add in a few bouts of diarrhea and a few changes of clothes and it made for a great trick-or-treat night.
Andy took Charlotte out trick-or-treating for about 30 minutes. Our precious Charlotte took her bag and a bag for Sarah. She told all of our neighbors that Sarah was home sick and they all thought she was very kind for caring about her sister.
Sarah was so happy and thankful that her sister thought of her and brought candy for her. And Charlotte was happy to do it.
There's nothing like a good sister.
Happy Halloween!!

That Char is a sweetie! Eli did that one year for Noah-I love how sibs take care of each other without our prompting.
ReplyDeleteHope Sarah's feeling better and didn't pass it to the rest of you.
We are so sorry we missed the party-Noah was lamenting the fact no one invited us to a Halloween party and when I told them you did, but we couldn't make it, he was still happy you thought of him.
