the plague

yes...it is the plague...that swept thru our family with no mercy.  it started with nels making one round of barfing. and the next day it quickly attacked will who barfed on mary and then took mary down who proceeded to barf on me...mmmm.  it was almost comical.  it was here all thru the night..."this too shall pass" right?  sure didn't feel like it when i was holding buckets at 2 and 3 and 4 am. i kid you not, they each probably barfed/dry heaved at least 20 times, poor things. no much info?  sorry.   i think one of my least favorite things is to see my kidos so lethargic and pale and not much i can do for them. it has yet to take jess...it has wounded me but i am fighting back most valiantly!  wish us luck.

that was us this past week! (minus the barfing, just the hacking croup). we haven't been out of house for a while and i'm starting to go crazy. and we're not finished yet i don't think. i almost wish they would have gotten it all at the same time. good luck...you've got my sympathy.

Jones!! I'm so sorry. There really is nothing worse than seeing your kids sick and miserable and you can't do anything about it. We just had a major cold which always brings lots of coughing.. all through the night. Sick and no sleep is a killer combo.. Hope you feel better soon!

Hey, Jones, put this on the family blog as well. We all will relate and know what you were going through. You just hang in there, 24 hours and counting down. You are OK, Jones. xoxox Mama
