From secondary school applications to the dreaded stomach flu. This bug has to be the worst so far, as now 4 of the 5 of us have been bitten. Mom has the immune system of steel and I am determined NOT TO GET THE STOMACH BUG!
It started with Alison on Friday after stagecoach. She is so unaffected by puking, that she puked a couple times in the middle of the night and didn't even make a peep about it. I didn't know until I woke up the next morning. (poor girl and all the ice cream she ate that I had eggs in it before we were saavy enough to check...). She slept pretty much all day on Saturday and was totally fine on Sunday morning.
Then, Drew and Brad both got violently ill on Sunday late afternoon (after we had just finished our lovely family photos thank goodness). They both slept all day on Monday (or should I say Brad slept all day, but Drew watched TV all day and has developed an appreciation for Tom and Jerry.) Drew tried to eat a piece of toast a bit too early and it came right back up, along with anything he ingested for the rest of the day. Today (Tuesday), he was very dehydrated and lethargic, so I took him to the GP and as she was examining him, he vomited! So, we went to the hospital, where they gave him some fluids and my silly boy finally perked up.
Then, when Brad went to collect the girls at school and Lauren came out and vomited everywhere (a friend actually told me it was pink and orange!) So that is where we are now.
Tomorrow will be Day 3 of staying home with a kid with the stomach bug. AHHHHHH!! I can honestly say I think this is the first time all three kids have been affected by the same illness.
I luckily was the only one who didn't get it!
