I really thought we had made it. Before school was out my students were dropping like flies with flu and a flu-like virus. But none of us got sick. Then it hit. I thought Carsyn acted a little funny Sunday afternoon. She is normally a VERY energetic baby...bicycling legs and waving arms, sitting up while her diaper is being changed, squealing and cooing. But not Sunday. She was so quiet and lethargic. Monday she started throwing up--only twice, but I knew we had not escaped the plague.
Tuesday night Robbie and I went to see her after dropping the babies off and getting groceries. She was better, playing with Lauren and David and doing all kinds of tricks. Good...maybe it was just a light case.
Then Wednesday morning came. Lauren sent a text saying they were all three home and sick. Casey helped me with Grace some so I could go get medicine, Pedialite, and gatorade. Poor Lauren...she looked pitiful. And David slept like a log. Carsyn was quiet and drowsy. So pitiful. Just so pitiful.
But today they are better! Carsyn stayed with me some today and was more herself. Lauren and David, though tired and weak, both went to work. Kecia, Stephen, and Tyler all got sick though :( Maybe theirs will pass quickly as well.
Here's hoping that the evil sickness has been contained. Happy New Year to everyone!! Be safe and well.
Thought for the day: There is nothing worse for a mother than to be unable to make her children better, no matter how old the children are.
