So What Kind of Week Did You Have?

Wanna know about mine? Let me tell you.

Monday...Liam seems 'funny'. Not his usual self. Sleepy and very cranky.
Tuesday...go into Liam's room first thing in the morning and am greeted with a crib full of puke. Nice. Puking persists all day long. Liam finally starts perking up a little just before bed.
Wednesday, go into Liam's room first thing, am greeted by yet another crib full of puke. Pull Liam out, clean him off, offer him a teeny little bit of water. Comes back up. Phone Dan at work, tell him to come home, we're taking Liam to the hospital to make sure he's not dehydrated.
Wednesday evening. Spencer has a bath then crawls into mommy's bed for a snuggle. Proceeds to puke ALL OVER THE BED. Clean up Spencer puke, bring him downstairs and put him on the couch with pillow blanket and bucket. Give Spencer gravol. three minutes later, gravol comes back up. Get Spencer to bed knowing it's going to be a long night. Not really knowing HOW long it was going to be.
Wednesday late night. Michell starts feeling queazy. Go to bed and wait for the inevitable. 10pm. Michelle gets sick, then proceeds to get sick every FIFTEEN MINUTES for the next TEN HOURS.
Thursday...Michelle gets phone call from friend in the morning seeing if she wants to go for coffee. Michelle informs friend that she needs to go to the hospital but is way to sick to drive. Friend comes and rescues Michelle. Michelle goes to hospital at 10am, gets hooked up to an IV...after an hour of vein hunting and poking. Michelle lays half dead at hospital all day being rehydrated by bag of clear fluids. Michelle is informed by doctor that said IV is not going to be removed until the next day because it was nearly impossible to insert in the first place. Michelle is too sick and tired to care.
Rewind to Wednesday really late night. Dan starts getting sick. REALLY SICK. Dan is sick ALL NIGHT LONG. Dan phones mom first thing in the morning and asks for her to come take care of kids because parents are too sick to move. Mom comes to the rescue.
Friday. Dan takes Michelle back to hospital in the morning to have IV removed from arm. IV is removed...vein proceeds to EXPLODE. Michelle bleeds through her coat before she realizes what's happening. Michelle and Dan rush back into hospital to have vein explosion brought under control. Michelle and Dan go home. Michelle goes back to bed and sleeps for the next 6+ hours. Michelle wakes up, eats dinner and goes back to bed. Sleeps for the next 12.5 hours.
Saturday...Michelle wakes up with cloudy head. Michelle is certain she's getting a cold. Michelle is pissed. Michelle notices that Liam also is crabby and snotty. Liam also is getting a cold. AND still throwing up now and then. Michelle wants this week to end.
