It's official...we have "the bug"

Saturday night/early Sunday morning at about 3am, we were awakened by one of our girls who was hollering for us while she ran to the bathroom. While the next 4 hours were not enjoyable for any of us, we were very thankful that our kids have gotten to the age where they can let you know they're about to be sick, so that you can get them to a bathroom or trash bag and be left with minimal to no clean up. Since Jason and I got little to no sleep and we weren't sure if the other two would get sick, we decided to stay home Sunday morning to rest and watch for any other signs of sickness. The one sick child seemed to improve and even ate lunch with us, so we figured it was okay to go to church Sunday night. We thought that maybe she had just eaten something that didn't settle well with her stomach and that she would be fine.

Everything was going fine until 5 o'clock this morning. A different child woke up moaning and ended up getting sick, and not 30 minutes later, the child from Saturday night got up and was sick again. Jason and I don't feel great either, but it could just be from having to deal with the two that are sick.

Please pray for us that we will get over this quickly. I apologize to those that we were "in contact" with last night. I hope and pray that you don't catch this bug also.

Your family will be in our prayers. That is never fun to be ill. But to have more than one sick is just... uck.

Yes, I'll definitely have to get that from you. It's been so long since they've had a "tummy" bug, that it really took me by surprise.
