Sick and so thankful

so, i have been getting sick a lot recently. as soon as i'm over one thing, i get another. at first it was colds and such. then it was near bronchitis or pneumonia so they put me on a little steroids and antibiotics. then there was last night....
last night was hard. i honestly thought that if i didn't get an IV in me soon, i could die or something! i think i threw up over 12 times in about 11hrs. it was quite the adventure considering there was nothing left in me after my 4th time and i couldn't even hold down a few sips of water.
Jacob was amazing. he stayed with me in that cramped, hot bathroom until he kicked me out at 8am. i got a blessing at 3am ish from gpa ward and jacob. i am SO thankful for blessings. it said that i should have faith. it was extremely difficult to have faith at times, no lie, but i did my best. Jacob said comforting words and sang to me when i was 1/2 unconscious on the toilet lid at 4am. i was so tired, but my stomach wouldn't let me lay down or make it to the couch. it was horrible. at 8am, Jacob slowly took me to my bedroom upstairs. it was a lot cooler in my bedroom and that helped me sleep and not toss my cookies.
my stomach has been sensitive all day. because i am dehydrating now, Jacob has been making sure i have things to drink. so far today, i have had about 5-6 saltine crackers, a 1/2 glass of sprite, 1 1/2 bottles of propel (still trying to finish this 2nd bottle), and 3/4 of my light jelly toast. i know i should have more, but my stomach is still really queezie.
i am so thankful for my amazing fiance! he has helped me through this every step of the way. i feel really bad for his lack-of-sleep, but i know he will be blessed for being so selfless and helping me. i am so thankful that he picked me to be with for time and all eternity.
