The stomach flu hit our house hard this week.
I thought (silly me) that the mild symptoms of a tummy ache and low grade fever that the boys had on Monday were going to be all we got.
Nope.
We got the full experience. Plus a visit for me to the ER to get IV fluids to keep baby safe/make sure I didn't turn into a raisin. Thank goodness for a sweet friend from church. Andy was sick so couldn't take me and driving myself was probably not a terribly brilliant idea.
But even though the guys did not have ER confirmation of how sucky this bug was, their experience was not anywhere near awesome.
I will say, with a hugely thankful heart, that we are generally a healthy bunch. We don't have chronic illness or allergies or anything that even remotely comes close to what other families deal with. But...
We are not good patients.
The boys get restless and bored. I get grouchy and mean. It's been ugly and I am so looking forward when we are all back to our normal selves.
Praying today is the last day we have it hanging around.
