For weeks and weeks I have been reading on facebook about all of the people in my neighborhood who have had the stomach flu, but we were stomach flu free. I am sure the reason was because my younger children are home schooled and we have pretty much stayed inside since my surgery. I even thought about staying home from church last week to keep it away. In the end it wouldn't have done any good. My oldest daughter brought it home. She first felt sick Sunday evening and was sick through the night. She felt much better around noon. I was hopeful that maybe it was a bit of food poisoning, but no.
Yesterday, right in middle of a marathon baking session, someone reported that my seven year old son was sick. Half hour later it was my 3 year old son. An hour later my 11 year old daughter started and my 15 year old son was right behind her. It was 4 AM when my husband bolted out of bed. So far the only hold outs have been my 5 year old daughter and myself. The good news is that all of the sickies from yesterday are feeling better. The bad news is that it may still hit the ones left. I so don't want to be sick. I want to go to church on Christmas. It is so rare that we get that opportunity. At least hubby doesn't have to go back to work until Tuesday.
I know what you mean! Facebook friends have been dropping like flies to a stomach virus. So far so good here. I hope yours passes quickly and that you are never touched. We had one December back in like 2005 where we were sick for two weeks before Christmas and one week after. It was awful. We had vomiting on Christmas Eve but were able to hold out again until Christmas Day night. I was so worried that someone would be puking over newly opened presents.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas! Stay Healthy! Love you!
Its times like this that I really wish we had more bathrooms. That is the worst part of it all. So far we haven't had any upset tummies today. Hubby finally got up at noon and is feeling better. I think we had stomach flu around Christmas last year too.....
