My sister has forced me to bring you this link:
She has stated that unless I link to this site, she will withhold all my birthday presents. And she may even key my car.
(all right, no, none of that’s true)
It all started Tuesday AM. Riley woke us up as he usually did, crying. As usual, our exasperation at being woken up that way didn’t leave us in a good mood. He climbed into bed with us, and promptly vomited everywhere. Joy!
Since we weren’t going to be getting any sleep, Riley went in the shower, and we stripped down the bed. He seemed much better after, although not ‘right.’
Late that evening, Slayton said he wasn’t feeling well, and sure enough, Wednesday early AM (say…1AM) he got up crying, ran to the bathroom…you guessed it…upchuck.
He was the worst of the bunch. Every half hour or so he would yawn again, but since his stomach was emtpy, it was nothing but dry-heave. Poor kid, it was really tragic. Riley was still jetting stomach contents, but not at the rate Sly was. Thank goodness, Sarah decided to take the day off and help clean up after the kids with me.
About ten that night, I started feeling that tell-tale rumble in my gut too. So I knew I’d be waking up to something rather…unpleasant. Sure enough, 5AM came, and I ran for the bathroom. Didn’t *puke*, though. Sarah took off another day, and I spent the day in bed, just laying there, doing my dogonned-est not to follow in my son’s pukesteps. I didn’t want to end up like Sly, dry heaving every half hour.
About ten that night, I was doing much better. And almost exactly that time, Sarah said “looks like I’ll be taking another day off from work tomorrow…” Come 2AM, she was bowing before the porcelian god herself. Being pregnant, and in a rather delicate position, she called the doc the next morning. He ordered her right to the ER for an IV.
Thank goodness…by Saturday, everyone was feeling at least 89% better. And I didn’t hurl, miracle of miracles!
Well, we’re on a new server. Everything’s been migrated with the exception of the Gallery. Couple issues with getting that working.
And it turns out that we’ll be moving *again* shortly, to a better server. Just got the word.
