The "SICK" hit our house!

Okay so Sunday night as I got into bed Miko kept saying that she had to go "poo" and so I would take her to the bathroom and she would just "fart." So I kept telling her that it was okay to fart in bed, that she did not have to go to the bathroom to do that. The next thing I know she throws up all over herself and the bed! YUCK! John came and helped me clean up the bed while I put her in the tub and washed her off. We got a clean pair of pajamas for both of us, since it ended up on me to as I was holding her. Then I got her back to sleep. She woke up again about 1:00 and again threw up on herself. I was able to change her pajamas and wipe off what was on her, not have to put her in the tub this time. We had a bucket placed by her just in case it happened again and you guessed it, at 1:30 she was sick again but this time I had the bucket ready. I get her all settled and back to sleep and just dozed off (about 2 a.m. at this point) and I hear someone go in the bathroom, turns out Evanslee is up and had to go to the bathroom. She comes and tells me that her stomach hurts and goes not feel good, OH CRAP!!! Here we go. I start thinking about what I had fed them that day, could this be food poisoning, or what. So the next thing we know she runs back to the bathroom and is sick. So I help her and get her back into bed. Well she was up 3 or 4 more times during the night, I was too tired to keep an accurate count. By about 5 a.m. all is well and we sleep until 8. Caddis never was sick but about an hour before he was supposed to go to Headstart he had a fever and so I told him he had to stay home. He was so disappointed, he did not understand that having a fever meant that you were sick, he did not feel sick. So the rest of the day Miko spent mostly in bed, no appetite, just wanting juice. Evanslee also no appetite and if she ate or drank anything it just came back up. I spent the day trying to work and take care of the kids and John (as he was not feeling so well either). So just before dinnertime I started not feeling right. I had no appetite and trying to figure out what to make for dinner, nothing sounded good to me but I knew I had to make something that the girls could eat. John came out and decided to make dinner (THANK YOU). He made a chicken teriyaki dish with rice and Evanslee and Caddis were able to eat but I could only take a few bites and choke it down. Miko was asleep and did not eat dinner I think she slept from 5:30 p.m. until the next morning. Poor little girl. Just before I went to bed (about 10:30), up came my day's worth of stomach content. YUCK!!! But nobody was there to take care of me, just plain ol' me, I guess that is what happens to all moms, have to take care of yourself. We all had a restful sleep that night and then John woke and the next morning and was sick all day and decided he needed a blessing. It was about 1:00 p.m. and I had the hardest time trying to find someone home to give him a blessing. All of the "retired" neighbors were not home, and I finally had to find one of the High Priest in our ward home to get a blessing. He was able to find another and they came right over. They gave John a beautiful blessing and he was able to calm down and feel a little better. But we did end up going to the ER at about 6 that night. They gave him some fluids and some meds and he was able to go home.

This morning I am happy to report that all is well (knock on wood) in the house this morning. Kids are going to school and have pink cheeks again, YEAH!!!
