Sickness

Well - I am really ready for sickness to leave my house.
After Aiden being ill Sunday night into Monday, Jason wasn't feeling well the next three days, then starting Wednesday I wasn't feeling right and started on Z-pack Thursday (spending most of the day in bed). Now Drew has apparently what Aiden had.
If I didn't feel so awful I would get up now and start spraying lysol all over the place (even though I can't stand the smell of the stuff).
I really really would like everyone to be well for Saturday! We have a chance for a night out with the kids going to grandparents for the night. It's a belated birthday dinner for me - since I spent my birthday in bed.
I should be sleeping now - need my rest. The doctor said today that the steriods I was on to treat the MS symptoms probably set me up for an infection - and now I need to get over this, since infections can lead to MS relapse. What a vicious circle.
The numbness and weakness in my legs is back to bad again - due to fever. I know the worst is only temporary - it just still sucks.
Jason has been great taking care of the kids though - so I can rest. He also got me some great birthday gifts.
Okay - so here is my prayer in the middle night:
Lord - Thank you for blessing me with a wonderful family, and friends. You are our protector and healer. I ask that You come with Your healing touch to all in this household - and touch them where needed. Calm stomachs, sooth throats, repair connections - whatever is needed by each person. May tomorrow bring more of Your light into our home.

How to help

Woken up at 1am - Aiden throwing up. Hate this part! He can't tell me if his stomach is just upset, or if he is really in pain. He doesn't understand the whole get it out thing - wants to hold it in. I can see the fear in his eyes - and try to hard to comfort. It's been two hours of on and off. The only thing he drinks is milk - and I am trying to hold off on giving him any - yet know he needs fluids to rehydrate. Thankfully at the moment he seems to be sleeping peacefully - but I am afraid to go to far - even though there is laundry that should be moved from the washer - and more to go in from the last couple of hours.
I so want to know if my holding him - stroking his back is meaningful to him. How can I convey that he shouldn't be afraid - I don't like that look of fear in his eyes - that he doesn't understand what is happening. Thankfully this doesn't happen often, for both of us.
Lord - just come and heal him. Touch his stomach - comfort him in ways I can't. Let him rest and get over this stomach bug or irritation or whatever it is.
