Because once isn't enough...

I just returned home from the ER for the 2nd time in one week.  Lame. 

When I got home from my trip to Utah I was greeted by a congested-coughing-achy-all-over husband.  "Just a cold" I thought...Until I was awakened at 5 AM with his uncontrollable vomiting and shaking (men are so dramatic when they barf, anyone else agree?).  I decided an emergency room trip was in order when he passed out on the bathroom floor.

Yep. Influenza.  A nasty case at that.

Awesome.

Ugh! No fun! Poor Jill, sorry you had to do the ER thing twice in a row. It's a good thing you were home though. Thankfully, I've never had to hear Tadd throw up. I hope Scott gets better soon.

Poor Scott! I think in general men are a little dramatic when they're sick. When I read your title I thought your post was going to be about Jack flushing ANOTHER ring down the toilet. You need a vacation. A real one.

Sheesh! I'm sorry Jill. I hope he gets well soon!

I had to laugh because I had the same thought as Marianne...when I read your title I thought, "Not another item down the toilet!" I'm not sure which is worst though.

Oh watch out! That stuff is crazy contageous!! At least it wasn't the Swine Flu. It seems like you have the craziest stories lately. I agree with Marianne, you need a vacation....without your sweet kids!!

Sorry to hear about the sickies. I'm super worried about the piggie flu with Mason in scholl all day now. When Tyler gets sick he doesn't even want me to talk to him. Secretly though sometimes, I think to myself, Now you have just a small glimpse of morning sickness. So I don't feel THAT bad for you. I'm mean I know.
