Dynomite Dave

OK, So I have been pretty darn sick. Started feeling bad on Friday evening and by Saturday afternoon, I KNEW it wasn't gonna be good. Friday night I woke up every hour with horrible chills and body aches and Saturday wasn't any different, David woke up at about 4 or so and he just couldn't stand it anymore, I was too hot, said I was like a little furnace. When I woke up he had a grocery back full of stuff to help me. I asked him what time it was and he said "you don't wanna know". lol That means it was 4:30 am. I later learned that he got on the internet and learned more about fevers before he went to the store. Apparently I was talking to myself a lot that night, who knows what I said...lol Anyway he couldn't find the thermometer so he had gotten one of those too and we took my temp. in my poor cracked lips and I remember thinking that he was so pretty.


After the thing finally beeped it read 103.4 which explains my weirdness. Later that morning he called my momma and asked her what else he could do for me. I don't know what's cuter, that he was worried or that he was a proactive nurse. Then I heard him cleaning the house and I remember thinking:  "good, at least if this kills me the house will be clean." So Sunday night I fitfully wake every 30 min, but that morning I wake finally to hear him getting the wee ones dressed for school, which he is usually gone for. It just made my heart melt all over. He was working so hard and called checking on me. That's what the whole "in sickness and in health" part is all about in marriage and this is definitely the sickest I have ever been since we have gotten together. Definitely a good feeling. I DID go to the doctor and got all the meds they want me to take, and hopefully am on the mend. We had a huge storm yesterday with mentos hail and plenty of rain! It rained into the night and it was such a great peaceful time to actually GET some rest. I woke thanking the Lord for the beautiful rain, rest and made some special requests for people I love. I made it through most of the day pretty well but felt myself crashing more and more, and here I am with the goal of staying up and having a good nights rest. I wrote this so even though thanks are never enough and often aren't needed when you care for someone you love, it's still there, it burrowed a sweet memory in my heart.
