This stomach bug has been squashed. Er… Almost.
I thought we were done being sick as of Monday night. All the kids have been there and back again – except Kait, who’s just felt slightly unwell. I was relieved about its end, made all the kids take hot showers to clean off any residual yick, and started making them do their normal chores again.
No more stomach flu makes for a delightful day.
Then Ryan came home from work.
Today it was 82 degrees. I heart 82 degrees.
But it did get quite stuffy in the house as evening fell. To keep Ryan as comfortable as possible while he wrestles this bug I turned on the air conditioner – which feels wrong being we have a freeze warning for tonight. But right being I have a sick husband.
I’m really hoping that this is it for us – that Ryan is the last of it all. But I haven’t been sick yet, though I’ve been exceptionally tired. I’m trying to be optimistic, telling myself that my exhaustion lately has just been my body fighting this bug and I’m not going to get it in its fullness.
Optimism doesn’t come all that natural for me. I’m your typical good natured pessimist. But I’m desperate here. I’ve got to think positive or else I’ll make myself sick by thinking about being sick.
Just writing about it is making my tummy turn a little.
But I’m sure it’s all in my head. It just has to be.
I’d better stop typing about this.

I hope it’s all in your head too.
Love you guys.
I really do think it’s all in my head. I just wish I could get it all back out. I’ve had phantom sickness off and on for 4 or 5 days now. It’s getting annoying.
If it helps, I never threw up. I just felt sick like Kait. Maybe you are super human and are immune to this bug. That is going to be my vote.
I am tired too. I was so sad we missed seeing you guys. Next time. Next time.
I’m glad I have your non-sick vote. I’m sure that’ll make all the difference!
Anybody else want to vote for me to not be ill?
Yikes, I can’t believe Ryan did get it! If it makes you feel any better I didn’t ever get throw up sick…just queasy. And since we have already established that you are a superwoman hero that means you won’t get sick
He’s actually not throwing up, just having debilitating stomach pains. He didn’t even go to work today – which is a big deal for him.
He seems to be feeling better now – ate and everything. But 48 hours of sick… I felt so bad for him!
