Sick Day

Today has been tough. Monkey has thrown up about 10 times today. And every time her tiny, skinny, little body contricts while she's heaving, my heart breaks. God has given me an extra measure of compassion and patience for her today. Normally when she doesn't feel good, she gets all whiney and I just get irritated. Today she was so quiet though. I hate that it takes days like this to make me see how irritable I usually get with her. I don't want to be one of those Mom's that is always cranky with her kids, kid in my case. I thought taking the caffeine and cutting some of the sugar out of my diet would help with my irritability. But so far it hasn't seemed to help. I keep praying that I'll change, or at least learn to control it as I did my temper. I just don't know how to go about it, or what to do. It's all very frustrating. It seems as though Monkey is getting better though. She's wanting to eat and has only thrown up once in the last 2 hours. I just hope that this extra 'stuff' I have enough of today will last through tomorrow when Monkey has her physical at the hospital. I hope that goes well.
