In addition to my family in town last week keeping me away from the computer, I’ve also been really sick. I ended up in the ER yesterday due to moderate dehydration. Got a couple liters of fluid, some medicine and a diagnosis of hyperemsis. I’m not at all surprised. I am sure I had it with E too. I was just too sick to get out of my house & to the hospital (Jim was gone during the worst of it). I felt so much better leaving the hospital. The thought of food didn’t make me sick! I ATE and enjoyed it. It was heavenly. I have a follow-up appointment this morning.
I’ll write more later today, hopefully.

glad you are feeling better. Back in *my day* they didn’t have any meds for it. (if that’s what i had anyway… sick throughout the whole pregnancy with N and lost 56 lbs total by the end of it) The only time the meds gave me worked was when i was sick with the flu, which was 3 times during that pregnancy. i went to the ER several times during it for fluids, but not even that helped me any. It’s a horrible feeling, not being able to keep anything down, not even water! i feel for you!!! Hope you are feeling much better and continue to do so. *hugs*
