Somehow God knows that in a family, the mom cannot get sick. Who would take care of the child/children? Who would take care of the husband that is such a strong person on any normal occasion, but with sickness turns in to a very sad little patient? :-) God know what He is doing.
My little family is sick, and I am the only one well. I am meticulously going around the house with Clorox wipes and old rags. I am wiping down door handles, picking up various items that have been used to wipe up vomit, and tossing everything in to the washing machine. I am making trips to the sink to wash my hands...yes while singing the "Happy Birthday" song because that is how long I have always told children it takes the soap to kill the germs. I am praying that while I am pregnant, I do not catch this or any other throw up bug.
My poor husband rolls over in the bed and moans and asks me to get ginger ale as well as Gatorade. Whatever you ask dear. My sweet 14 month old child continues to play in the floor even though he has had the same bug for the past 2 days. Children are amazingly resilient. Husbands, however, are not.
God knows what He is doing. Moms cannot get sick.
