What might be making you a tad apprehensive, but might not, as it's too soon to tell - Page 32

Road trips with sick kids suck. There's still a puke stain on our headliner from years ago that you can only see if you know where to look.

Gallon size zip lock bags are useful and double as a rough measuring device.

And I agree with Ortho. You gotta be a little crazy to get into a car with a sick kid to drive AWAY from your home.

My wife confirm what Glatt says...

She drove all the way down the west side of the Canadian Rockies
with 2 of our 3 girls spouting randomly... not fun.

Yeah, stay home. Its ripping through my sisters house and we saw them on the Eve... Update Lil Griff started hurling at 2:30 this morning. Pete is the last standing.

Clodfobble · 12-26-2013, 08:04 PM

Yeah, staying home wasn't going to happen. But he ended up puking a total of 8 times last night, so by the time we were getting in the car, there was really nothing left for him to get rid of. He dry-heaved a few times on the trip, but strategic towels were enough to handle it. We'll see how tonight goes (he managed to keep a little water down, so we let him have 2-3 bites of food at dinner.)

But the really exciting thing is now I'm feeling very crampy and nauseous. Mr. Clod, at least, says he's still feeling fine.

glatt · 12-26-2013, 08:34 PM

Sorry.

Griff · 12-26-2013, 08:51 PM

Bummer.

orthodoc · 12-26-2013, 09:13 PM

Oh nooo ... sorry.

glatt · 12-27-2013, 04:36 PM

Now my daughter is throwing up. What is that, 6 days later or so?

Ugh.

Time to clean everything again. At least we were healthy for Christmas.

Clodfobble · 12-27-2013, 05:38 PM

Dang, so much more frustrating when you thought you were past it. Hope she's better in time to go back to school.

glatt · 12-27-2013, 05:55 PM

How are you doing, Clodfobble?

Clodfobble · 12-27-2013, 06:07 PM

Oh, much better. Everyone went to bed early last night, so I got to as well. Minifobette has taken a turn back for the worse, but I seem to have escaped relatively unscathed.

glatt · 12-28-2013, 10:27 AM

Did I mention it got Mrs glatt this morning? I'm the sole survivor looking nervously around me.

Supposed to have a neighbor kid sleep over tonight while his parents are on the road. I'm trying to reach the parents so they can figure out a plan B.

Griff · 12-28-2013, 10:30 AM

Still waiting on Pete... Also teh boyfriend is here recovering from his snowboarding accident, will he succumb?

Clodfobble · 12-28-2013, 03:36 PM

Before we left my in-laws' house this morning, my sister-in-law started puking. We've still got three left in the house unaffected; I'm expecting this to get everyone before it's all over.
