And then there were three

Thanks for all your good wishes. Lily did pass her sickness on to Jeff and myself. So far Mandy is ok. Lily is not completely better yet but she is slowly making a comeback. She didn't get dehydrated the whole time, but she did lose some weight, not eating for five days will do that to a person. I should say she ate very little. The doctor tells us not to give her milk but that is all she wants. She keeps it down and it has calories and fat. Just don't tell on me.

What is worse than taking care of a sick little one. Trying to take care of a sick little one while you are sick yourself. Jeff was so sick he stayed home from work yesterday. He was laying on the couch with Lily watching cartoons and I went into the bedroom to lay down for a minute. Woke up about 7 hours later. Only woke up because I was gagging on my own puke. Sorry TMI?

After my little nap, I was feeling a bit better. I was able to take Mandy to work, pick up a few things at the store, clean up a little and then pick Mandy back up from work. Jeff seemed to be getting worse. He went to work today. Bet that was fun.

I know this stuff happens to everyone and I am a big baby. Tomorrow maybe I will tell you all about my flowers and how they were killed this year.

I hope you're all feeling better...those flu bugs are vicious! My sympathies to you all.

oh you poor thing. NOBODY likes being sick like that. i remember once having to set the baby down so i could throw up, and then hearing the 4 year old calling to me that he was throwing up. no fun at all.

i hope you are all feeling better soon, or at least taking turns!

That does sound yucky but I hope the worst is over. Did the frost get your flowers?

Been there and done that. The worse part of being a mommy is that there is no one to take care of you like your own mommy. When I am sick, my mom is the one I want. Bob tries and he is good, but no one is as good as a mom. Hope your all doing better!

I hope you are soon feeling better. I usually wait until everyone is better and forgets how crappy it was to be sick...thus ensuring that I get no empathy.

Sorry to hear you and your family were ill Marsha. Hope you are all feeling better again now. It must've been difficult for you looking after Lily when she were so ill yourself.
