Nausea, Viruses, and In-Laws

Okay, that sounds really bad! I love my in-laws and they are here visiting for a few days and saving me! I am feeling so icky and the nausea (and vomiting) hit so hard that I have been taking Unisom and B6 at night to help. It does help, but I still feel ick. Anyway, they have been cleaning and cooking and shopping and doing laundry and I have been sleeping and eating and really enjoying it!

Sam has a nasty virus in his mouth, close to Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease, except he doesn't seem to have it on his hands or feet. We took him to the doc today and he said there is nothing we can do, but provide pain relief and wait it out! Ugh, he cries constantly. The doc said it is extremely painful and contagious! So, a few sleepless nights ahead (with a few already behind us) and lots of bubble gum flavored ibuprofen.
