...and quickly went downhill from 2:00p.m. on. I'm still waiting on it to get better. We had a wonderful time opening gifts here, a great breakfast at my parents, a fun time opening gifts there and even a wonderful, very simple lunch (Petit Jean bacon sandwiches...yummo!). On the way home at 2:00p.m., just as we turned onto the interstate, the vomiting started. Poor Annie.
Initially we thought it was the consequences of sneaking into my mom's pantry and eating junk food (she's done that more than once) but as it continued into the evening we quickly realized it was a stomach virus.
On Wednesday, she kept down bananas for several hours but then did great keeping down a very light lunch and dinner. On Thursday, she kept down breakfast, lunch AND a snack. I was going to give her applesauce for dinner since diarrhea had started but was over-ruled and she got mac and cheese. Um, cheese...after a stomach virus. Not good. She started throwing up at 11:15 and threw up every 10 minutes until 1:00a.m. It was horrible because she would freak out when she started getting sick. And when she was dry heaving rather than actually vomiting...it was even worse.
Brad was sick (stomach virus) from 7-10 last night. Now he's mainly dealing with weakness.
I was just about to put Annie in her bed at 1:15 this morning when Katherine came up the hall, wailing. She stopped, threw up a little on the carpet as I ushered her into the bathroom saying, "Throw up in the sink or potty! I'll be right there." I basically tossed poor little Annie into her bed (she was out cold) and ran into the bathroom. Brad woke up and came in to check on her. She said, "But I don't need to throw up any more." Any more? Huh?? "Katherine, have you already thrown up?" She nodded, "All over my floor." Oh great. Brad went into their room and soon came back to the bathroom, "Let me take care of her." With the way he said it, I could tell that meant "I'm not cleaning the mess, you do it."
Why is it that everyone had to get sick at the same time??? Everyone is going to bed early tonight. I'm exhausted.

We had the same thing happen to us, basically, but no vomitting, just fevers....asher at 105.5 and the other three at 102....then coughing and more....sigh....it is exhausting, but wait till you have 4 ;)
Always thinking of you.
Get better soon, and happy new year!!!

Hope you & E manage to escape this one. (((hugs)))
Oh, sweetie...
Sending you ((hugs)) and ((stay healthy vibes))!!
I'm so sorry, Gina! I was sick this week,too...but nothing like what you all had! I hope everyone is better.
Been there. Done that this year. Yuck all around for everyone, but especially for mom who gets to clean up after all of the sick-os :( 2 weeks of non-stop fun for me as one person after another in our house got it. I somehow, God's grace probably, managed to avoid the whole thing. We've had a couple of 'recurrences' since, but thankfully they are a much shorter length the next time around. Heres' hoping you avoid it too and the rest of the family gets over it soon!
I am so sorry y'all are sick and with stomach stuff! UG! We tend to get that often, too, and I always get it! Todd and Tandy can also identify well. Kim Wise has been sick for a few days, too. I'll be praying for all of you! Get better!
