The Plague Has Passed
When Charlie’s teacher asked me if he had experienced the stomach bug that was going around the school, I should have known…
Amy came home on Friday afternoon complaining of a stomach ache. About a half hour later, the vomiting begin. And on and on it went. I enjoyed the privilege of cleaning it up, all over the house, for hours and hours until it finally came to an end.
Until Saturday. When I began vomiting for hours and hours. And whereas Amy’s was gone in about five hours, mine felt like sticking around longer. So it did.
By Sunday, I was beat. And of course, not excited when Katie started vomiting. Mercifully, hers did not last as long and was gone by about 3am Monday. Actually, the worst trauma in her case was when I had to explain to her why she couldn’t be on the top bunk for the night. In contrast, Amy was in lucky/gloaty heaven as she climbed up the ladder…
Morning finally came and I had my first solid food since Saturday night. I even managed most of my normal walk - but couldn’t quite manage it at the end.
Lots of laundry and scrubbing today (as you can imagine) but things are almost back to normal. Chris has been complaining all day about his stomach - but so far, so good.
Maybe we’re in the clear for a bit? Maybe?
