Wise Counsel
This happened January 20, 2007
This weekend, while sitting outside,
I suddenly, without warning became very nauseous due to the
hyperemesis gravidarum (extreme
nausea and vomiting in pregnancy) and started to gag, retch and cough. I had
been sitting back in my chair when it came upon me. I stayed
still because I was afraid movement would push me over the edge
and I'd lose my meager lunch. I planned to lean forward quickly,
if needed.
Caleb, 5, saw me sitting back in my chair struggling to not throw
up. With bit of disgust in his voice, he offered "MOM! If
you are going to throw up, throw up on the GROUND!"
