doctors vomit and yoga oh my!!!

I told you yesterday my little one was sick and we were going to have a jammy day and take it easy. We were up all night with a bad cough and dry heave, and in the morning she was getting NO better :(. She was shaky HOT and whimpering. We managed to get some food and liquid down before she ended up getting sick over the toilet. My poor girl. She just cried and cried and was so weak and shaky. I held and rocked her for a while until she seemed to settle then wrapped her up on the couch with her puppy blanket and sippy cup. I put on tree house and let her just rest for the morn. After a good rest she perked up and was starting to run and play but still coughing and not herself. We had a good lunch more medicine and then kicked her to bed for a nap. After nap I took her to the doctor who said she had asthma and gave her a baby inhaler to open her airways. SO..... that was my day as a mother. Full of worry and guilt and wishing I could go in her body to take it away and make her feel better instead of standing by just watching.
My day as an individual, athlete and yogi???? well that on the other hand ROCKED the house. I was just full of yoga bliss and peace that I needed to carry with me yesterday. I hit the sauna at 630 am and did my class. It was perfect conditions and I was so focused and set. I was so amazed every time I hit a pose at how deep and strong my practice was. I had forgotten how beautiful an early morn practice is. LOVE IT :) I was also very brave. Its been four months now since my surgery and up until now I've been very careful and modifying a lot. The last couple of week I've been slowly getting better and trying new ranges of motion and starting to incorporate the old poses. Sometimes feeling good in it and other times knowing I was not ready ret and backing off. Yesterday I did the WHOLE class without having to modify or change ONE thing :) I just did it and had my old practice back. NICE Also with no pain or tension I have to add ... it just felt right and good and strong. I have the sauna heating now in the AM and I am so excited to hit it you have no idea LOL
Once I got Kaylee wrapped up on the couch I hit the elliptical (in the same room) We watched treehouse and I pounded out an intense hour long interval workout. Again I was SO strong it blew me away. Doing my workout after breakfast like I used to again I forgot how good it felt. I just felt energized and full of oxygen all day... and I needed the strength and peace let me tell you!!!
