The Germs have decided it would fun to take up residence in our house. I say they can get the hell out - but what do I know??? Thursday when Nathan got sick, I used lysol a lot. Kaedyn had been sick the night before, just threw up once, in his crib, at some point between being laid down for bed and the morning. When we got him up Wednesday morning, there was vomit all over his crib. We quickly cleaned it and him up and then proceeded to ask our 18 month old son who doesn't talk ... why he didn't let us know. I mean a cry would have been helpful! Then Thursday at 11:30am Nathan started throwing up and he didn't stop until around 7pm... and at 11:30pm he perked right up and was feeling himself again, it seemed. So he kept me up until 3am Friday morning. Friday everything seemed fine... I thought the force field of Lysol I had put up was working. The shield against the germs was in place!Kaedyn had an evaluation for Speech Therapy ... and Noah had over two friends.
Dennis came home from work around 8, or so, and wasn't feeling well. He ended up going to bed after eating my over cooked meatloaf.
6am this morning, Dennis is up heaving whatever was in his stomach...... GREAT, I thought. Just freakin-fantastic! Yep, it seems my force field didn't work. Kaedyn has had the poops, and at 8am Noah ran upstairs screaming "MOOOOOOOOOMMMM" and that he was sick... he was tossing his cookies over the porcelain throne. Yet, me, who was at ground zero for the whole attack on Nathan ... has been perfectly perfect all day. Wiping sick bottoms, wiping sick mouths after assults of the stomach...... washing my hands AND covering them in hand sanitizer all day treating myself to smelling like a freaking hospital......
And guess what? Now??? I don't feel so good...
Brilliant..... just effin BRILLIANT!!
So far, Calahan seems to be the only one untouched..... give it time, I'm sure he will be the last fallen solider in our vomitaous war...
ugh. That is the worst. I just wrote about my daughter going through the same thing!
ReplyDeleteI wish you all a speedy recovery. and use more lysol next time :o)
New follower! Found you on Loving and Living in Texas's blog. Stop on by and say hello!
ReplyDeleteOh no!! I hate it when we all get the flu. It sucks. Hope you all feel better soon!!
ReplyDeleteI hope you guys have recovered! We had it over the weekend, too. My hands are raw from all the sanitizer and bleach I've used.
ReplyDeleteFun times! The one icky thing about having a large family is how quickly the germs spread. We have a crazy type of stomach bug here. Intrepid had it over a week ago, now Spawnling seems to have it... And it lasts - get this - about three hours. Then it's over! Let's hope yours has left the building and won't be making a comeback anytime soon!
