Under the Weather

My husband started it all last week, when at 10pm I got a phone call from him saying that he was in the Emergency Room. That's pretty much all he said and hung up.

He and his friend Mike had been out hunting and I was starting to wonder when he would be home since he wasn't answering his phone.
Getting that phone call from him in the ER was part of one of my nightmares about him hunting.
I called his phone right back and Mike answered saying that yes they were at the ER here in town and that Mark was pretty out of it. He said that while they were out Mark got really really sick and could not stop throwing up. Amazingly Mark was very slowly able to make it back to the truck but was still so so sick.
Mike decided that Mark was probably dehydrated and needed some IV fluids. So after getting him to the ER and all checked in they called me.

Anyway.... long story short, Mark stayed at the ER for a couple of hours until he could actually walk out to the car, then Mike brought him home. He got in bed and stayed there for three days.
AHHHH!!! Not GOOD!
We had just been planning our winter strategy for not getting sick in our family because Cameron can not have a Flu shot ever, for the rest of his life and is more prone to getting a bad case of the flu because of the Guillian Barre'. So we were all ready to keep the sick bugs out of our house and dad gets sick.

Just when we thought that Mark didn't spread his flu bug, Hayden throws up Sunday night. He only threw up once but just doesn't feel good and has no appetite.

Then the BOMB really dropped and now I AM SICK. Yesterday I thought I wanted to DIE. Today was a little better, I didn't actually throw up, I just felt like I was going to all day. Mom's aren't supposed to get sick right?

Now tonight Cameron says that his stomach hurts really bad. I covered his bed and pillows with towels and but a big bowl by his head.
Just in case.
Wish us luck.

**I have to give the BIGGEST thanks to my sweet husband who, thank goodness feels good now, has been taking good care of me.

**And another HUGE HUGE thanks to my mother -in- law for taking my kids yesterday and Hayden again all day today. You saved my life! Thank you so much
