Being a mom
I remember when my older son was 2 and it was Mother’s Day. There was a story in our local paper about all of the wonderful things about being a mom and how the kids grow up so fast. I’m a very emotional person so I was crying and I held out my arms for a hug from my son. He came charging in at full speed but instead of giving me a hug he wiped his snotty nose on my shirt. Yup, sometimes that’s what being a mommy is all about. It’s one of my favorite memories.
Right now, my most frequent mommy memories involved being puked on. We thought Kyle was out of the woods but he threw up again last night. We can’t figure out why his tummy revolts after 36-48 hours of being fairly ok. So we’re back to using Pedialite through his feeding tube a little bit at a time to keep him hydrated and hopefully switching to Pediasure when he can keep food down. I know this will end at some point but right now it doesn’t seem like our life will ever get back to normal.
Food has been good, exercise non-existent. I’m hoping that on Monday I can start working out again. Happy Mother’s Day to all of the Mommies out there.
Hello,
My name is Joy. I read your blog today. You seem to have so much on your plate. I do not know all of your circumstances but I feel for you. I hope that your son Kyle is able to keep things down soon. I hope that you get some much needed rest. I do not have a child with a feeding tube but I have 4 boys (2-18) and two are special needs. So to some small degree I understand the love, stress, strain, being oh so tired you feel like a zombie, yet when you look at them you love them and feel for them so much.
I hope it goes better. I am always here with an open ear.
You take care
&
Happy mothers day to a wonderful mom!
Joy
Happy mother’s day! I hope Kyle is better soon!
