After three days of being sick, it is cleaning day. It started on Sunday night when Markus woke up throwing up. Shortly after we changed him, his sheets and the wall, I started to feel sick. Tom actually slept on a mattress in the hallway near Markus. Markus slept in the bathroom on his old baby mattress. I slept in the other bathroom on a towel and Sonja slept in the bed. She started throwing up around 3 am. Tom was taking care of Markus was throwing up all night. I was taking care of Sonja, but I was also throwing up all night and at a certain point, I just put towels over Sonja's vomit and let her sleep on the towels until morning. It was Monday afternoon when Tom started throwing up. I was doing laundry all day on Monday, yesterday and it continues today. Tom is back at work today. But, we have no energy. I kept Markus home from school yesterday and from his karate classes. So, tonight he is going to karate. We all feel much better but our energy is low. I am glad it is over with. We got it from my nephew who brought it home from daycare. My sister told me he was fine when we went to visit him on Saturday. It spread like wildfire. First my sister got it bad. She was so dehydrated and with being pregnant, she had to stay the night in the hospital to get IV treatments. Then my family got it at the same time. Her husband now has it and so do her parents in law that have been staying with them. This is all in the course of a week. Today, is a day of tv watching for the kids, which I hate to do. I always feel like a terrible mom if I put my kids in front of the tv all day. But, I need to get cleaning done and get my energy up. I could use a vacation!
I hope everyone is healthy and stays clear of this nasty virus. It is awful. Hopefully, no one gets it over the holidays. Stay safe and healthy.
