Yesterday after the kids got home from daycare we all decided to have some applesauce. Denis fed CootieBoy, CootieGirl had some, and I had a few bites. I hadn’t eaten anything all day except for those cookies. I hadn’t had any water, no juice, no milk – NOTHING save those two cookies.
After I had a few bites of applesauce I had a small glass of juice (about 2 oz). Within ten minutes I was poised over the toilet. :puke: We’re using that icon a lot on this blog over the past week.
I didn’t eat or drink anything after that for the evening. I just laid on the sofa, occasionally taking my temperature (it peaked at 100.7). After 9 p.m. I got a glass of water and had a few sips of that.
I was in bed by 10 p.m.
This morning I feel much better. No fever, and a raging appetite, no nausea. It seems that the virus just didn’t have enough power to do anything more than a single day’s worth, which is a relief. Of course, I’m not counting my chickens yet – I’m not exactly going to go downstairs to make a 7-course breakfast for myself.
The kids are better – no vomiting in two days, and no diarrhea in over 24 hours. CootieGirl is the healthiest, with CootieBoy still being a bit cranky and hard to please. Denis also feels better – in fact, yesterday he was able to get some work stuff done in the afternoon.
Glad we didn’t go to SC though – I told Denis that timing-wise I would have been throwing up just as we got on the plane – not exactly a fun planeride.
