Sick, sick, sick

We are normally blessed to be a healthy household. None of us get sick very often. But man, I tell ya, this winter has been brutal. Before Christmas we had colds and pink eye make the rounds. Then for much of January and February we all had colds. The kids had colds with coughs that lingered for weeks. I had a cold that after two weeks turned into a sinus/throat infection requiring antibiotics. Even Mike, who rarely gets sick, had this cold. Then we were better.

Then we weren't. Kyle woke up during the night Tuesday night throwing up. It kept up non-stop through yesterday morning, then he was able to nap around noon and woke up a new boy. I even got in on the action, but am still not sure if it was puke by association, or puke in the first degree. Today he was back to normal. Here was Kyle couching it yesterday, with his buddy. :)

This morning our day started out well. Everyone felt well. Everyone felt happy. Erin wore two pig tails for the first time ever. :)

The day continued to go well. The kids ate dinner, took baths, and hit the sack. Erin fussed a bit. Then started CRYING. Mike when to check her and she had exploded everything she'd eaten for what looked like days. Now, four hours later, she is sleeping fitfully on the couch. She's got nothing left in her, but her stomach keeps trying to get more out. The poor, poor girl.

I am hoping her bug is as short lived as Kyle's was. She's never thrown up before, so she doesn't understand and screams when I try and get her to use the bucket.

*sigh.* We're ready to be well.
