Tials and tribulations of being a parent with sick children and being sick yourself..

WOW! what a weekend...if you can call it that. Thursday I was very ill and ended up staying home with the sickies. About an hour or so later in walks John with the same problems. That night Matt started up with the vomiting. John stayed home with the kids Friday and Saturday morning Ally woke us up at about 2:45 am saying she was going to vomit. She threw up so much that we called the doctor and got her in. Not even 12 hours later she was so dehydrated that the doctor was "on the fence" about admitting her to the hospital. We were able to get a Pedialyte pop in her and she started to perk up. Turns out both kids had the Rhotavirus. We got home and about 9 pm John started complaining again about the sickies and was up all night vomiting. Sunday I woke up with the same thing. We were such a team though. He would sleep for an hour or so and then I would sleep for an hour or so. Both of us were trying to give the other plenty of rest so the hour or so eventually turned into three or more hours. Sunday we were still puny. I wasn't able to return to work until Wednesday. Ally is still out of school. I don't know what is worse. The fact that we were all sick this weekend and quarantined to our house or the fact that I have my entire casual, sleeping, and exercising wardrobe to wash. Every time I picked up a kid I got puked on. Oh well at least everyone is finally getting better and we can see something other than our four walls.
'till later.
