Sickie Sickie!

We have had a run of a 24-hour stomach bug going through our house. Nathan came home from school on Tuesday and he seemed perfectly fine. We did his homework and he was playing with his brothers. All of the sudden he said, my stomach hurts. Unfortunately, he complains about his stomach hurting quite often, so I didn't really think anything of it. Then all of the sudden, he starts throwing up. I felt so bad for him. I gave him his puke bowl and told him to go lay down in his room and relax. He got sick a few more times...of course all through this he keeps asking me to let him eat! I sent him to bed early...having a feeling that it was going to be a long night for him (and me).
Later that night Tim started crying and he started getting sick too! Poor little boy, he fights it so much and wouldn't let me or James hold him while he was sick. Tim stopped being sick around 1am and finally got to a point that he could go to sleep. He got sick again the next day after eating his lunch. I was very careful with him for the rest of day, only letting him stay by my side in case he got sick again.
Greg showed no signs of getting sick. I was feeling so lucky that only 2 of the boys were affected by the bug. OH I AM SO NAIVE! I had made plans with my Dad yesterday to go to their house this weekend to visit...We were on our way to Walmart to get the oil changed in the Van and to get all of the fluids checked and to buy some Deer Whistles. We get almost to the store and Greg said, My tummy hurts! But he never said anything more about it, so I thought it had passed. Then we pulled into the parking lot and he just let it rip. Stupid me, I made fish for lunch...let me tell you, that is a HORRIBLE smell. Once we got home and got him cleaned up, scrubbed the car seat put the cover in the washer. He got sick one more time after that last night.
I'm not looking foward to a fun day today. I have a feeling that Greg is going to be sick a few more times.

Ahh, illness. Seems we can't get away from them around here.

That is horrible. On Sunday we went to visit grandma and after we were there for 20 min they told us the stomach flu was going around and to be sure and was our hands. grrrr. But luckily I think we avoided it, sorry you weren't so lucky :(
