Emma's had the stomach flu for the past couple of days. Poor thing. Ben says she has Gastroenteritis, more commonly called stomach flu. How fun it is to have a medical student for a husband (and it will be much more fun when he's no longer a student, eh?) Anyway, it is so sad to watch a little kid be sick... they are so particularly helpless and forlorn. Thankfully, she slept well last night and we didn't have any middle of the night incidents. She's been watching a lot of movies lately since she got sick. There's not much else she can do. To add to the fun, I had an incident with the peeler last night as I was peeling potatoes and peeled the tip of my middle finger. Poor me! It's a new peeler and particularly sharp, so it got me really good. My misfortune has been rather laughable, though, because I keep finding myself quite disabled at times when it comes to accomplishing certain tasks. I can't seem to keep a bandaid on it for long and every once and a while the cut breaks open and springs quite a leak. This morning, Ben had to tie my shoe for me because I was holding tissue on my mangled finger and needed assistance. And Ben had to pretty much finish making dinner last night after my peeler accident because my finger was stinging so badly. Anyway, Ben thinks we should go over to the DMV and get myself a handicap permit. Ha, ha Ben... that's so funny. ;) So, I guess it sounds like our family is quite pathetic right now with our maladies and bleeding appendages. But I'm sure these small misfortunes will quickly pass. :) At least, I plan on being more careful with my peeler next time.
