And so it begins... FLU SEASON

Well, its been a tough few days here in the Galloway Household. Jordyn decided to puke and be whiny and fussy all day monday. Monday night, Joey was in possesion of the infamous puke bucket and her and I slept in the chair downstairs. At 1am this morning... Gillian and control of the toilet in the girls' bathroom. By 3 am I was in control of the toilet in my bathroom. Then about 1hr later Jenna decided to throw up in my bed and since the 2 bathrooms were in use she got control of sitting on the floor in my bathroom. Glad I got the septic tank empty a couple of months ago, because we sure kept things "flowing" here. I also had to figure out 2 more puke buckets.
This morning I called my wonderful Daycare Provider, Patti and she let me bring Jorydn and Joey over for the day. The rest of us tried to get some sleep here at home. It is 5:40pm and I think Gillian is on the mend, Jenna is still in tough shape, and myself, well, I think the stomach is better, but I have such achey bones/joints, that I can't hardly move. Dehydration is a big factor. Wish Tim was here, I would let him practice his medic training and stick an IV in me to get me some fluids. I had my neighbor, Angie pick up an electric blanket at the store... that is helping the joints. I sent Jordyn to Auntie Kris's for the night. Patti is actually going to the store for me to pick up diapers and baby food. I realized I was low and it is a holiday weekend and I don't feel like heading out to the stores. Bless her heart.
Keep us in your prayers. Hopefully we will all be better and will get to enjoy a Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow.
Hope you all have a great Thanksgiving.
