Let’s just say as a family we have definitely had better weekends! This might go down in the memory bank as a weekend we will never forget, but not necessarily in a good way! The weekend had so much promise! I was looking forward to it, but Thursday night the weekend started it’s downward spiral!
Rylee woke up in the middle of the night sick. She did make it to the bathroom before she puked, which was a very good thing. She woke up multiple more times during the night. Needless to say she didn’t go to school on Friday. She spent most of the day on the couch. Let’s just say it was the sickest I had seen her in awhile. She was having cramps, puking, and other things...By Saturday morning she was feeling much better. She was still not able to really eat much, but was playing and feeling much better. So, After some debate we decided that she was on the mend enough for us to head to Milwaukee where we were celebrating Christmas with the college gang. Jen was kind enough to host this year. We got to Milwaukee about 5:00 p.m. or so. Upon arriving and unpacking, Trent said his stomach was bugging him a little. By 6:00 p.m. he was puking (Thank goodness Jen has a downstairs’ bathroom). He got what Rylee had. He was having the same issues she did...He ended up spending the whole night laying in the back room or in the bedroom. About 8:30 at night, I started to feel a little yucky, and by 9 something I was puking. The boys were in the bathroom with me, as I puked Eli started to rub my back (he is such a sweetie!). I had gotten the funk too. Great! Here we are in Milwaukee, supposed to be celebrating Christmas with my friends. We have all three kids along, and Trent and I are sick...Trent can’t even function and I don’t want to. Do we try to drive home? Do we go ahead with the plans to sleep over? What do we do?
Well, with the multiple bathroom visits that Trent and I were both having, we decided there was no way we could make it home. We were just going to have to wait it out! I felt bad cause there was a house full of people and we are sick! AHH! Finally, everyone went to sleep. Trent and the kids (Rylee & Eli in bed with him) and Kale in the pack n’ play were sleeping in Jen’s Spare room. Jodi was on the couch in the living room. Becky, Luke, and Ruby in the other Room, Jen 7 Jesse in Jen’s room. I was downstairs on the couch. About 12:30 p.m. I hear Eli screaming. I fly upstairs...Eli is puking now too! But he didn’t get up, he just puked in bed! Now we have a comforter, blanket, and sheets full of puke! Great. After getting him cleaned up, and settled down. Changing the sheets, and getting everyone back in bed, and back to sleep...I am feeling worse than before. I end up puking again. Finally, I get back to sleep while the wash machine is going with the pukey sheets in it! I am awoken again by Eli screaming...This time it was worse...It’s all over him. His hair, his pj’s...So we again clean everything up, change him into his clothes from Saturday. Get the bed clean again! Get back to sleep. The third time Eli puked it was better. He actually made it to the waste basket.
Sunday morning came way to fast. Trent and I were still feeling yucky, but better then the night before. Thank goodness Kale hadn’t gotten sick! I called my Mom and she came and got Kale. We spent the entire day watching movies and sleeping. Luckily we all feel better today. Much better! I will give you one guess what we had for lunch yesterday...Yes, you are right. Chicken Noodle soup and toast!
Two things I learned this weekend...1.) When in doubt stay home 2.) I have some really good friends! Thanks Jen!
