January 2011.. a week of illness...

Yuck...Our first week back from a wonderful Christmas vacation brings with it a week of the horrific stomach bug!!!  Jason left for his week long trip snowboarding with family in Colorado and Riley and I were left on our own.  Usually a decent deal, we get to choose whatever we want for dinner!  Instead it was a trip to the ER with Riley (the same night as Jason's Mom too!!) and a stomach bug for Riley for almost a week!!!  YUCK!!!  It was painful to watch a 1.5 year old learn to hold a bucket as she puked!!!

When I fell victim, my Mother, God bless her, came to the rescue!  After texting Mom and Dad late Wednesday night informing them that I too had fallen victim, my Mom arrived on Thursday morning with rubber gloves, Lysol wipes, and ready to de-germ the house!  It was a blessing to have her so close and willing to drop everything to rescue us.  Thanks Mom....I truly do not know how I would have survived without you!  She was a saint, from late night changing of bedding due to puke (2x a night!) to watching explosive diarrhea squirt out of Riley-- Oma Sue was there to help us every step of the way...Thank you...

As we were nearing the end of the weekend, our final plea to Jason landed him returning home 2 days early to tend to his sick family...just in the nick of time as Oma Sue headed back to CT with the unfortunate gift of germs as she then fell victim too...

A week later and we are finally back to normal!!!  Thanks Oma Sue!  We love you!!!
