Well, I think there's no better time to get sick than when you have an extra 6 people in your house. That way someone else can hold a crying child or make dinner or run to the store for more meds or caffeinated drinks for the mommies. And now there is a reason to have the TV on 24/7.
We actually have 2 strains of bugs running through thehouse right now, thankfully it remained within the host family and not the guests. So here I am, fighting off the yuckies.
In the first corner, weighing in at stomach flu, throwing up and diahrea: Emily and Becca.
In the second corner, weighing in at painful ear infections: Jacob and Amanda.
So far, Becca dropped out of the fight after 36 hours... and Jacob and Amanda entered the fight a day or so late, but definately not nearly as dedicated to the pain. Emily seems to be the last one standing... I mean last one crying.
Emily got a shot of Phenergan last night and seems to be doing better. She was pretty dehydrated, but she is doing her best to drink all the pedialyte I keep giving her.
Maybe tonight I'll get to sleep all the way through til morning, without anyone else waking up and crying or throwing up or crawling into my bed. Maybe.
