We have been hammered by the flu these past two weeks. First, Jesse got the flu, then Huxon. Poor Hux was sick for several days with projectile vomit and diarrhea. A week later Otto came down with the same thing, and Anna followed suit a couple days later.
Grammy was feeling pretty lucky that I had been spared the past two weeks, but alas I got my chance to hang with the porcelain god from 2am to 7am this morning. I still have the flu but those first 5 hours were horrific.
For years, we up north have heard the stories of Cousin Sara's family dealing with the flu bug in their home, passing it from one to another and thinking, whew that sounds awful. Well, news flash...it is awful! The visual of babies projectile vomiting is something that stays with you for decades. As a matter of fact, I still remember Anna's first bout with the flu at 1 yrs old. It left quite an impression.
So far Olivia, Luke, Mike and Milo have been spared. Let's hope their luck continues. I'm really hoping the breastfeeding is saving Milo at this point, because our babe is way too small to deal with this nasty bug!
Here's to the end of viruses and the beginnings of fun in the sun! Bring on summer:) PLEASE!!
SO SO SO very awful! I told Anna that my very favorite milestone may be when people can hit a bucket!
ReplyDeleteHope that bug is gone and you can all be back to your normal selves. Thinking of you and sending hugs. From afar. Cuz we don't want that bug here! ;)
Hallelujah to that icky virus leaving our family!
ReplyDeleteI will NEVER forget the first time I got the stomach bug from Fiona. I was slightly scarred by the experience. Glad you are all feeling better! I hope health and wellness comes to you all SOON! Love you!!
