these past 12 hours have been among the top 5 12 hour periods for the worst in my life. Knowing how the kids must have felt makes me all the more glad they are better. I was the last to get hit with this & most likely the worst, though I really can't tell. Excuse the crudeness, but when you get sick that hard to where your sides cramp up and that you can say "Look, toenails" you know it's bad. I did have a not so great moment when I told C that if anyone were to get sick like this again it could be him. Yeah, not so graceful, but I certainly don't ever want to go through this again and he does keep telling the kids when they're sick that he wishes it was him instead :)
I think the best thing about this is that my workplace had to learn how to deal without me. Yep, I wouldn't have been productive anyway as I was praising the porcelan god the whole time (well every 10-20 minutes). With only a little work on my part they actually pulled together and got the paper out, as well as a special section. This is a biggie... I didn't go to work when normally it would have been a day I would never have skipped. I'm kinda proud of myself for that. Warped I know. But really, how productive would I have been?
M was great, she came home from school/hab and came in to tell me she was very sorry and very sad that I was sick. What a caring sweet soul she has. I felt bad when I asked her to leave so she wouldn't get sick again. Poor kiddo, I just know she would have stayed in there with me and tried to take care of me if I would have let her.
OK, time to finish my water and go lay back down. Hope things are much much better in other places.

I just knew even communicating by email I would catch something. Maybe today I will manage to get outside the ten foot circle of the toilet. That seems to be the magic distance. Lov oops! Dad
Ack! ACK! I read this! Am I going to be contaminated too?!? Ack!
I hope you all feel better soon. I'm going to go down a whole bunch of Vitamin C tablets now, just in case...
don't even get me started on what seems to be the after-shock of this thing... hoping it doesn't hit me like the rest. At least it's been dramatically less intense.
I don't think your dad got it. He seems well and healthy to me. Of course I have been gone but he is his old self today. Hope all are feeling better. Love, Helen
