Ins and Outs of my Life

Terrible Christmas

Well I had a terrible Christmas. I had a virus. It was not fun. Well Christmas Eve we went to hubby's aunt for the annual too-do. My little one started throwing up.
We came home around 9 or so. (early) Well he kept throwing up and Santa didn't get done until around 3 in the morning. Well 3:30 I started throwing up. Lucky the little one had settled down by then. Well I threw up for 18 hours. My little one was still pretty sick too. Hubby and my oldest had to go do family rounds without us. I was in and out of passing out -- I was really sick. I remember hubby saying that the little one (6 years old) was sleeping -- then hubbby left. 3 hours later after waking up sick again -- I run in the den and he is curled up in a little ball on the floor - under his cover. He slept most of day and was not throwing up like I was. He did enjoy his Santa with brother- but not really much until the day after Christmas. That day I was still in bed from weakness. I haven't been that sick in decades. Thing is about 15 folks from both sides of our family got this thing-- including my hubby and older son after Christmas. It was nasty. I opened my presents after Christmsas. Now I miss that I did not get to see all my family. I am going to go visit all of them tomorrow. Makes me appreciate the holiday cheer more. I hope that never happens again.
