Getting sick!

Sadly, we have all been sick this week.  Except James so far...knock on wood.  Last Thursday I took Jessica to a drop in daycare and Thursday morning she was puking.  While I can't 100% say she caught something there, I can say it with about 99% assurance.  James and I had plans on Saturday night so my mom came and watched the kids for us.  The rest of the day Jessica was fine so we were all hopeful.

On Sunday morning I got a text from my mom saying that Jessica had puked again and that Isaac had puked.  Great.  James and I packed up and hurried home.  The rest of the day we spent nursing sick kids.

Monday morning Isaac and Jim both got sick.  A little while later it was Jessica's turn again.  I also was feeling absolutely miserable.  Jessica fell asleep at 930am so I put her in bed and went to lay down.  At almost 12 I woke up running to the bathroom sick and Jim ran in to see if I was okay.  He then told me that Isaac was asleep as well.  Good!  Hopefully the little ones would all be feeling better.  Jim seemed to be ok.

Tuesday morning came along and I sent Jim to school and took Isaac back to school.  Isaac had some diarrhea and was sent home early but Jim did fine.  However, JJ woke up Tuesday morning sick, and spent the day in bed.  I was still very weak, but feeling better.

To make it all worse my mom also got sick.  Not surprising I guess since Isaac got sick on Sunday morning, but still sad.  I feel terrible about that.  Glad however that she got a couple of days off work since she works her butt off and deserves it.

Today, Wednesday morning JJ still stayed home and because he has to be home for 24 hours after being "sick" Isaac stayed home as well.  Michelle woke up feeling sick so I let her stay in bed.  She has not gotten sick however so I am really just giving her the benefit of the doubt.  If she is faking it today then she will probably really be sick tomorrow and her "reward" will be spending two very boring days in bed.  Tomorrow I plan on sending both JJ and Isaac back to school.  If Michelle is not sick she will be going too and it will finally be a quiet day at the house.

But that leaves the question, when will James get sick and why hasn't he gotten sick yet?  James, Isaac and I all had flu shots...if this is not the flu then there is no reason why James is not sick.  Either way, I hope he doesn't get sick.  Whoever left this illness at our door can take it away now.
