Oh dear, this was one for the books...or the blog for sure. Well, it started this morning around 4:00. Clare came in to tell us Adell had a tummy ache. I thought it was just gas so I got up and gave Adell a gas-x and some water. 20 minutes later she was barfing in the toilet. 20 minutes after her, Clare started barfing. Will and I got the girls settled as best we could with buckets by their beds and crawled back into our beds. 20 minutes later the girls were barfing again and I needed to go downstairs for an extra bucket. As I came up the stairs I met Colter and Will in the bathroom with Colter barfing in the toilet. I thought: "I hope everyone wakes up barfing now...we can just get this over with."
Sure enough, an hour or so later Wyatt got up and started barfing. He set himself up in the downstairs bathroom and stayed there all night. The rest of the night/morning was spent up and down catching barf and praying that Lorien wouldn't wake up barfing (she has finals this week). And so it continued into the day, with someone barfing every 20 minutes until about noon. It was rough!
Thankfully, mercifully, blessedly, Lorien is not sick yet. Hopefully, she can make it through finals and then get sick...if she has to get sick.
For now, we are all camped out in the family room, watching TV and trying to eat simple foods that are easy to barf up.
Pray for us.
It got better over the next few days. Less barf, still feeling crummy. Most of the kids were able to go back to school for the last day of the week. Except for Colter, who had the barfs come back later in the week. Not fun.
