The Daily Hailey

Since getting my makeup artistry certificate, I haven’t bought any makeup! I’ve been thinking I’d do some serious Black Friday shopping and snag some deals. However, I did not. Not even once.

Today was my second sick day. Yesterday, Brady stayed home from work, and I slept most of the day, with a soak and some water drinking in between my naps. I know, it sounds quite luxurious, but I was toast. I don’t know what I would have done if Brady couldn’t have stayed home with me.

I feel somewhat better today. I’m not so achy and I’m capable of walking on my own, so thats good! But my head is a good ways behind the rest of my body. If I walked down the stairs, I’d be fine, but then I’d turn the corner and wooooo! I’d get SO dizzy. Thanks to this craziness, Brady stayed home for me this morning as well. I send him to work this afternoon once both little boys had gone down, and while our afternoon was quite low key, I was shot when he made it home.

My mom was spectacular and made me one of my favorite soups for supper. She makes amazing corn chowder, so that was on our supper menu, with buns. It was such a good meal. It tasted amazing, though in all honesty, its really hard for me to eat. On top of feeling feverish and dizzy, I have joined the HFM club over here. Just in my mouth, though. And let me tell you. I now understand why kids scream when they have to eat or drink when they have HFM. It is incredibly painful. I find that eating hurts my mouth and tongue and throat, and then goes up and radiates into my cheekbones. Its pretty great, as I’m sure you can imagine.

As for the rest of the group, Brady is still healthy! PLEASE PRAY that he stays that way!!! So is Laela! Pray for her too!! Rowan is healing up in record time, which we’re super thankful for! Almost all of his spots have peeled off, leaving fresh pink skin underneath. He had a few crusty red ones left but they’re the ones that showed up later in the game so I’m sure they’ll be gone soon. Dekker’s spots are more pronounced today, but he isn’t acting like he feels sick AT ALL! I asked him if the spots on his hands were bugging him and he said “Aren’t they such cute little spots?” I agreed with him, and thanked the Lord that he isn’t clawing at them! And Solly is still struggling to drink but not as bad as a couple of days ago, so we’ll take what we can get! Hopefully we’re through the worst of it and only see improvement from here on out.
