We had a lovely Sunday last weekend of visiting Santa and doing all the festive things like the carousel, big wheel and listening to the elves tell a story. Then we went out for some food with my best friend I’ve known since I was 2 years old and her family. It was a perfect day. Everyone had a great time. Then it was back to work on Monday, the Monday night, both Aria and Tyler started to be sick. They took it in turns and by morning we were a bit zombie like. Aria missed her only nursery nativity on the Tuesday and we spent the day on the couch. Tyler was doing better, but just washed out. The next day I was at work and felt like the worst mum ever leaving her so poorly and upset. Thursday was the same. Poor wee Aria had 4 days and night of constantly vomiting and not even holding a smallest sip of water in. By Friday, I called the doctors and took her down in the evening. She’d started drinking a bit of juice with some sugar in it and brightened up a little. The doctors said she was dehydrated, but since she was brightening a bit, see if she was still being sick to take her to the hospital. Saturday, today, she is a little better, but still not great. She’s holding some fluid in, so we will see how she goes. She’s lost so much weight and looks so pale. It will take some time to recover. It is such a worry, I’m still sleeping on the floor beside her. Tyler will be back to school on Monday and is excited he got his part for the nativity home for next Wednesday. We are exhausted both mentally and physically. It has been hard being a working mum and with such guilt, I’ve struggled. I’ve never known a stomach bug to affect a child, well it hasn’t affected mine, so badly. Fingers crossed next week is a better week and we are looking forward to Lucas birthday next Saturday. Can you believe he will be 10? He had just turned 3 when I started blogging. I’ll leave you with a festive picture of our crazy kitten Twilight. How was your week?
Aw your kids look so excited and ready for Christmas, a lovely moment to capture with Santa and who could resist a festive cat!
Oh it is so hard when they are ill, i’m never sure what is worse, flu with a cough and blocked nose or being sick. Either way, they worry us. Lets hope she is on the way to recovery #MySundayPhoto
It’s so hard leaving them when they’re poorly :(. Love the photo with Santa – Grace didn’t want to go this year x
Oh Susan, I knew she was poorly, but I didn’t realise how bad she had been. This sounds horrendous. It must have been so hard and such a worry. I do hope she’s on the mend now, but it will definitely take a while for her to build her strength up again. x
Oh bless her the poor thing! Hope she is on the mend properly soon. x
What a gorgeous Santa shot! Wishing you a wonderful Christmas #MySundayPhoto
Oh I love the Santa photo, I bet they’re all getting very excited.
Have a very Merry Christmas.
Thank you for linking up and supporting My Sunday Photo this year.
Awww Susan I’m so sorry! I hope Aria is doing a bit better! Since I can’t give you a hug accept this virtual one! *huuuuuug* You’re a great mum, so don’t feel too beat up over going to work! For instance, if YOU were also poorly and couldn’t take care of her, you’d be in the same feeling boat you are now. You’re wonderful! Aces even! I hope Aria starts getting better soon! <3
Oh it’s so hard when they are poorly. Always so many bugs going around at this time of the year but it sounds like you guys have had it really bad. I hope she’s soon back to her usual self. Gorgeous Christmassy pics though it looks like a wonderful weekend x
Aww! Bless you! It sounds like a rough week. Poor Aria. I hope she is back to her normal self soon.
Merry Christmas x
Bad week, let’s hope Aria’s back to full strength soon. Bet Twilight is having a lot of fun. Have a lovely christmas
Oh gosh I hope you all have a better week this week. There’s been a terrible bug going round the schools here with one having 25% of the children off sick. Best wishes for Christmas and New Year.
These are lovely photos. Sorry to hear Tyler and Aria have been poorly. Sounds like Aria has had a really bad time with a horrid bug. Hope she feels better soon x
Poor little uns. I hope they’re feeling much much better now and hope you manage to get some rest too. I cannot beliebe you’re going to have a 10 year old soon!!
I think everyone has had some kind of illness this past week. Hopefully we are all getting it out of the way for Christmas x #happydays
illness seems to be going around lately. hope you are all well now. happy xmas
gorgeous photo of you all visiting Santa Susan. I am so sorry that you have been plagued by illness – it is just awful when they are so poorly and there is nothing we can do for them. I am so happy that things are improving now though 🙂 xx
sorry to hear about your daughter, hope she’s on the mend now. Can’t beat a visit to Santa. Have a lovely Christmas #366
I hope your daughter makes a full recovery and you don’t ill with all the running around
Sorry to hear how ill your household has been, really hoping for a magical Christmas for you all with everyone feeling so much better. Love your visiting Santa photo though, gorgeous! 🙂 x

Thank you so much for supporting My Captured Moment, tomorrow will be the last week of the linky, I feel like it has come to a natural end and have decided to finish the weekly link-up.

Oh no what a shame, I hope everyone is feeling better now in time for Christmas. Have a lovely one and thank you for linking up to #HappyDaysLinky x
Nothing worse than your children being ill, glad to read she is on the mend but it is very very worrying.
How lovely to have had a friend since you were two, I moved home/country to often for that.
Glad the cat is enjoying the festivities as well.
I hope you managed to have a good Christmas hun, awful when everyone is ill. Hope to see you back with #HappyDaysLinky on Saturday. xx
