Today was really hard..

This all started three days ago when I got a call from my mom’s nursing home telling me she’s been throwing up and complaining of pain. My mom had dementia and is elderly so she’s rushed to the hospital.

I spend the next two days going between home and the hospital and she gets discharged on Thursday. I ended up bringing her home with me because it was late..

That night I start throwing up and having diarrhea. I’m sure you know where this is going 😭

It turns out it was gastroenteritis and I ended up going to the hospital myself yesterday for fluids because I was so dehydrated.

Today my 16 month old wakes up throwing up and could not keep any water down. My husband starts throwing up too and has a raging fever. I’m the only one that’s starting to get better and taking care of them.

I’m giving my baby Pedialyte around the clock and my husband has said something along the lines of “choosing your mother over us..”

To make matters even worse, I get a call from the hospital today saying that there’s bacteria on my mom’s skin that ended up in her blood sample.

I’m spiraling hard 😭 she’s back at the nursing home now (after spending a night) and I can’t help but feel so hopeless for exposing my husband and my precious baby to this.
