Default Re: What do you do when you are sick and hubby is away...???

Yes, for the past 7 years, I always sucked up 9 months of vomiting every day, but the migraines are a different story. With my pregnancies, I still was able to take care of the kids, even with an i.v. attached to my arm with medication to help control the vomiting issues. But, like you mentioned dealing with 3 or 4 kids and being sick is easy; I now have 6 little kids to deal with along with being sick. I have actually been hospitalized for the migraines. I can deal with typical migraines, but it is the ones that you get once or twice a year that you would just love for your head to fall off.

I was lucky, my mom and dad are off for the summer, and they came over last night. I actually have heavy narcotics that the docs have prescribed for this, but it just knocks me out. So, it was nice of them to come over and feed the kids and put them to bed.

I was just hoping everyone else might have some ideas of what to do when they are sick....
