The Plague

The kids and I were at a friend's house on Tuesday when Mackie said, "Mommy, my belly hurts!" Instantenously, she throws up all over my friend's floor! We quickly gathered our things and left in a hurry, while Mackenzie continues to throw up the entire ride home. I spoke with my sister and Anthony had the exact same thing only a few hours earlier. It lasted about 7 hours of throwing up and we thought we were in the clear!
Well, Tim goes to work on Wednesday and comes home a bit early. Immediately after he arrived home, my stomach became upset. Well, to make a long story short, I threw up every half hour for 14 straight hours! I have never been so sick in my life. Tim ended up taking me to the ER at 8 in the morning since I was so dehydrated.
As we were in the waiting room of the ER, Tim starts turning white and they put him in a bed. So, we were both in the emergency room for about 8 hours yesterday getting better. Tim's feeling much better today, and I am on the road to recovery. Thanks so so much mom for taking care of the kids all day.
Jackson never got it and neither did Vince! We finally realized that everyone had the Rotovirus and the little guys had the immunization for it. Thank God (literally) for vaccines!
