Not Again............HELP......

Are you emetophobic?

I feel ya GB!

It has been a wicked season for flu, gastro and otherwise...bronchitus, strep, ect around our parts. It seems I can't talk with anybody without hearing about someone having some horrible illness! Our school, church and workplaces have been full of horrible beasties going around, and it makes it very hard to have health anxiety!

Whenever my daughter gets the stomach flu (my worst nemesis) or is even expsosed to it, I spend several anxious days, waiting for it to hit. It is the most dreaded feeling to be sick and weak...it is not the actual throwing up that gets me...it's the feeling of being weak and out of control...or just seeing her so miserable. Either way it's hard to take.

I hope that your kids feel better soon. The good news is that if you haven't gotten it by now, hopefully you won't. Maybe it's one that you have already had and are now immune to!

Try not to think of this as a step back...just a bump in the road. You haven't lost any ground...after this temporary scare, you will get right back on track:) Every mom worries about this stuff...we just kinda take it to the next level...or two;p

Be well!
