nope... spoke too soon...

Just when I thought the flu was LEAVING our house...

Kaitlyn is still on the tail end of it...my stomach still feels icky...Devin of course, is FINE (how is it that HE gets over this stuff SO DARNED FAST?!). Jason is feeling better and back at work.

But now Austin is sick! Poor guy. He started with it last night. I couldn't get him to take any Pepto or Immodium so he was just miserable all evening. Finally he crashed out around 10. I took some Benadryl to try and help me sleep and I was out light a light by 10:30! I slept HARD until about 3:30, when I heard someone thumping around upstairs. It was Austin, getting sick again. He was so puffy and red, and so weak he could barely walk or even open his eyes. We had to practically CARRY him down the couch! I made him a bed there and told him to come get me if he needed me. Of course, what almost-12-year-old actually NEEDS his mommy anymore? Sigh.

I did hear him get up a few more times in the night, and I didn't really sleep much the rest of the night because I was so worried. I seriously thought we were going to have to go to the ER the way he was acting. But he can really be a drama queen at times, so it's hard for me to determine when he's REALLY that sick or when he's playing it up for me...ya know?

Anyway... I did get him to take some Immodium and he is passed out on the couch right now. His face is still a little puffy and red from all the vomiting. Doesn't he look SO SAD?
