Sick bug
So we've all been sick with the stomach flu. Wednesday night Margie made a whole turkey dinner for all of us and we were going to eat dinner over there. Bostyn hadn't been doing well all day and as soon as Chris got there, she laid on Chris's shoulder and just started throwing up (gross, I know, I'm sorry). Margie was nice to pack up dinner for us and we took it home. Chris and I are the only ones that ate, Noah only ate a little bit, although he was acting okay. I checked on Noah right before I went to bed around midnight and he was awake and told me his stomach hurt. He went back to sleep and I went to bed. Chris and I were woken up about an hour later to Noah freaking out, just screaming and crying at the top of his lungs. We ran in there to discover that he had thrown up all over his bed, his wall, his two stuffed monkeys, his pillow, and his hands. I think he was more freaked out that it was all over his hands. Chris gave him a bath (yes, at 1 am) while I cleaned up his bed and changed his bed sheets. We let Noah stay up to watch some cartoons and then he went to bed around 2. I stayed home from work the next day and I started to feel pretty bad about mid-day. I took both of the kids to the doctor where he said we all had a case of the stomach flu and that we've probably had it a while, considering that I had actually gotten sick suddenly at 1 am on Black Friday. I chalked that up to a full day of shopping and not much food or rest, but I guess it was worse than I thought! I felt the worst on Thursday night. Chris was a good husband and dad and took care of the kids and fed them dinner and got them ready for bed all by himself while I laid on the couch and didn't move. Last night we met Wade, Margie, Trav and Ma at IHOP for hot chocolate and pancakes. It was pretty late by the time we got there and Bostyn was acting really tired but I guess she didn't feel good again because she was just sitting there and suddenly threw up again. She didn't move afterwards, she just sat there and cried while I had to take off all of her clothes and clean her up. Chris came home early from work on Saturday due to the sickness. He only lasted about 45 minutes before he came home. He was a real trooper though and spent the day running errands with us and then spent hours house shopping before we finally got to IHOP. We hope that we have all finally kicked the bug and can start a normal week tomorrow so we can get in a full week of work before the breaks over the holidays. We will keep you posted if anything worsens and we hope that all of the Wilker's and Matich's are feeling great!
