SO sick!!

It all started with Stratton on Thursday. I had started feeling queasy Thursday afternoon, but chalked it up to a big catered lunch (by Godsey’s) and a busy meeting day, but I had taken some zofran around 4pm to get me through the rest of the afternoon. Then I got a message from the Daycare director just as I was leaving work, about 5:15pm that he had gotten sick and needed to be picked up. Apparently, she had tried to call around 3pm right after it happened but I was in a meeting and didn’t get the voicemail message till I got out.  So I was worried that he had been sick for hours waiting on me! But when I got there he seemed fine, even the teacher commented that after he got sick he seemed like he was completely normal and had gone back to playing like normal. They thought it was just something he ate or a fluke.  He was fine the rest of the evening, but I continued to feel worse, in fact I was completely useless all night I was just sooo sick to my stomach! By about 9-10pm, I think we were both throwing up at the same time. . . Poor Jarrod! Luckily he had already bathed (I think) and gotten Arden to bed, so he took care of Stratton and would come check in on me, too. He called my mom to come get Arden, to hopefully prevent her from getting it! I have no idea what time it was when she got to the house, it was late. I was asleep. Stratton fell asleep in the living room on the couch and Jarrod fell asleep in the chair, he said he woke up when Stratton rolled off the couch! But he never woke up so Jarrod carried him to his bed. By morning Stratton and I were on the mend- well I didn’t feel much better but at least I wasn’t throwing up! And Stratton was back to his rambunctious self! By this time Jarrod had started feeling ill and was popping the phenergan! I called my dad around 9:30am to come and get Stratton. I couldn’t handle him after being up all night sick and feeling like a truck hit me, plus I was still really nauseous and I knew Jarrod was on the verge of getting sick, too. So my dad came and got Stratton and Jarrod got sicker and between trips to the bathroom we both stayed in bed all day! I got up around 6pm, took a bath ate some crackers and went back to bed! Saturday we both rested a lot and were feeling better so Saturday night mom and dad brought the kids home so they could do some shopping. It’s a good thing they brought them back because in the middle of the night Saturday, my mom came down with it too! It’s one bad virus!! I still felt horrible Sunday, so Jarrod packed up the kids and took them to Searcy for the day while I rested. I only started to feel “normal” Sunday night, I’m telling you it was rough!

We had planned to take the kids to Searcy on Friday for the whole weekend and we were going to Memphis for the weekend. . .so much for that!!

What’s SO weird is that Stratton and I had the stomach virus this exact weekend last year!?! I remember because it was just a few weeks after I found out I was pregnant and it was super bowl weekend! How crazy is that?!

Hopefully, this week will be pretty uneventful! This weekend we will be celebrating my Grandma and Grandpa Wilson’s 60th wedding anniversary at a party in Hickory Ridge with the whole family and lots of friends!!

Next week will be a different story. . .Valentine’s day (I haven’t even THOUGHT about valentine’s stuff!), Rhea Lana (consignment sale) prep and drop-off, Arden’s follow-up with the ENT, and probably a trip to Searcy for Jarrod’s birthday! Also, Arden will turn 5 months old next week!
