It has been a long week. Tuesday night, Luke got the stomach flu. He got sick in his bed three times. Thursday afternoon, Erica got it. She got sick on the living room floor and while sitting on my lap. Thursday night, Alex and Matt got it. Alex got sick in his bed, then spent the rest of the night on the couch with the infamous green dishpan. Matt was able to make it to the bathroom, but spent most of the night camped out there. So, if you're counting, 4 out of 6 of us have been hit. Julia and I are hanging in there and praying we've been spared. Not so lucky for Dad - he got it yesterday, but is on the road to recovery now.
So sticking with my 'appreciate' theme, here is the silver lining:
- This bug was fast and furious - it only stuck around about 24 hours or less for each sickee.
- Dad scored that awesome carpet cleaner for us - it made one clean up job lots easier.
- My kids were at home when they got it - not so lucky for the little girl in church today. Oh my.
- The obvious - so far I haven't gotten it. And, even better, Julia hasn't.
- I have an awesome washing machine that kept chugging along.
Fingers crossed, knock on wood - I sure hope we've seen the last of this for a LONG time.
