I had woken up quite a few times during the night – getting more and more nauseous. At 2.15am I got up to see if I needed to spew, stepped out of the bed and the next thing I remember is Pablo licking me and Mike standing over me asking if I’m ok. I had fainted I think, fallen and hit my head on the tiles… A bit of blood came out of my head and I vomited 5-6 times whilst Mike called the ambulance….
They took me to the hospital and kept me there for awhile because my neck was a bit sore.
My bp dropped till 80/54… (I was cold and couldn’t stop shivering) and they had to give me fluids intravenously to get it back up.
Mike had followed the ambulance to the hospital, and was sent home as they were going to scan my neck in the morning. However, they decided my neck wouldn’t be broken from that fall and slowly let me move my neck. Beautiful freedom. So poor Mike had to come get me again (and he was feeling horrible still too!). We were back home and in bed at 5am.
Sofia woke up at 6am as usual. That was soooooo hard! Mike got her and brought her into bed. We cuddled for a bit and she tried a couple of times to feed, but I wasn’t sure if I should so I distracted her with food. She didn’t seem to mind. Then I got up with her, but Nani Claire had gotten up and she took over so Mike and I could go back to sleep. I don’t know what we would have done without her! Mike had to take the day off as he was still feeling very ill. I got up 30min before Sofia’s morning nap and spent a bit of time with her. Poor girl had diarrhoea so nappy change was needed. Then I put her to bed before going back to bed myself.
Nani Claire got her when she woke up, fed her and played with her. We are all SOOOOO thankful for that! I got up about 30min early for her afternoon nap as well. Same thing. More nappies to change for my poor girl. She was still in a good mood and happy to see me and cuddle. Then I put her to bed, and Nani Claire went home. Mike was feeling a lot better he said, but I was still feeling very ill.
We only had 10min in bed before Sofia woke up. I got her and sat with her whilst she played, but I was really struggling so I was happy when Mike got up and took her to the park. When they got back it was dinner time, bath time and bedtime.
As soon as Sofia was in bed so were we…

What a night to remember……… but Sofia was very very good, she surely missed Mumi but she carried on playing. When it came to food or drink, she just went along, what a good little girl……… -:)
