I hate being this far from you, it really sucks. Instead of you being outside in the cold, we could have sat in my car, and I could have sat there through this cry. Been there done that with you and would do it again in a heartbeat. And yet you tell me not to come up, after reading this I was this close to heading to the airport.

Unfortunately I am not your neighbor and I live in another state. Where are your neighbors anyway? Is it really possible that nobody but the blogging world knows what's going on? Conversely, congrats on being a pro. It's taken me some time to get to the point where barfing doesn't feel like a big deal. As much as nobody "should" have to suffer to that point, it's really quite an accomplishment isn't it? I hypothetically wonder about the juxtaposition of Christ's ability to suffer compared to ours being a bit like your ability to deal with barfing compared to... say... mine.

Sick the WHOLE time. She has two kids and told me a few weeks ago that if she ever starts talking about wanting another child to buy her a fish instead! I am so sorry. It is not fun to be sick, especially when your kids need you. :-) I have a friend that is like you w/ pregnancy. Sick the WHOLE time.

I know, I know, no one every wants to admit that they need help, but really I know I like doing service. If you were in my ward even if I didn't know you- if I heard your story I would be banging on your door to help you, I am sure there are some in you ward who feel the same. Ask if someone can come in once a week and help you with laundry, if you make a list and provide money can someone do your shopping for you...that will give you a little time to barf alone and feel a bit miserable and still leave a lot of time for your sweet children. I really wish I could help you out... ok seriousely, this might be REALLY hard to do….but call your RS Pres. or VT and ASK FOR HELP!

Because it's non-sedating and really can help (although you may need to take bigger doses than they will initially recommend). If your insurance doesn't cover it, you can get your doctor to go to bat for you -- it's less expensive for insurance companies than hospitalization for dehydration. (apologies for the unsolicited advice...) I am so praying for you. Hang in there. Tracy, does your insurance cover Zofran?

Actually, you know, I feel so much better now, becasue at least I am being proactive instead of just being flattened by it all. Im a pro at barfing, so I can do toss my cookies and not really skip a beat- it was just making up my mind to stop letting it destroy me. I feel like the Little Engine that Could right now- I think I can... I think I can... Writing though all this has really helped too. So many of you feel like real friends to me... I really appreciate the sympathy ladies…

When's the last time you had a blessing? Sounds like your husband could use one, too! I cannot imagine going through what you’re dealing with. When’s the last time you had a blessing?
