Dear Santa,
I am not sure why I ended up on the naughty list this year, but coal in the stocking would have sufficed. Projectile vomiting, fiery diarrhea, fever aches, chills, and lack of sleep… maybe a little cruel?
Trevor’s tummy issues seem to be mending, but I spent the night wide awake and miserable and throwing up and feverish. Brendan went to bed like normal but at 10:30pm, he woke up vomiting too. He had a VERY rough night, he couldn’t keep any of his fluids down and his nurse had to hold him pretty much all night to get a little bit of sleep. Bill was up until after 1am doing laundry so that we had clean sheets, rags, and towels.
I could not keep my eyes open all morning. Moms don’t get to call in sick, so I had to fight to stay awake to take care of Trevor. Brendan had a nurse and Bill had to work.
Brendan had a better day, getting only pedialyte pushed by his pump. I have had nothing but water all day, even the smell of Trevor’s chicken nuggets cooking made me sick again.
Bill is feeling congested with post-nasal drip tonight, so I really am fearful that he finally caught what Trevor and I had and now Brendan will have to fight it off again.
We are grateful that Brendan’s night nurse is working tonight and tomorrow. It means a lot to us. His day nurse will be off tomorrow for the holiday.
I did not even look at the camera today, so here are two snaps of our poor little sweethearts finally asleep and getting good rest. Now it is my turn!
Merry Christmas Eve to all of our blog readers. Stay healthy!
I am so very sorry to hear how sick you are. Yes, it is extremely cruel to be so sick for Christmas, or anytime for that matter. 🙁
Poor Brendan. He’s been so good lately, and I hope he bounces back from this nasty bug quickly. I also hope Bill doesn’t get it on top of his cold. It seems like so many people everywhere are sick this year.
I wish I could make you all better. I hope you get some rest, and tomorrow everyone will feel better.
I love you all very much,
Gramma xxxx
Wishing you a holiday filled with good sleep and an end to all the sickness. Feel better everyone!
Merry Christmas from the East Coast! I am going to try waving my magic wand over AZ again hoping that it will heal all woes. 🙁 So sorry to read that you are not feeling well. Asking Santa to drop off a huge can of Lysol!!! Heal quickly! May Brendan be spared of any further micro organisms! Prayers, hugs and love!!!! 🙂
Sad news to read on Christmas morning. Hoping all will be well, soon, and an extra prayer for Brendan. that he might “escape” whatever this “bug” is, and stay well.
I know I already posted, but after reading your FB post, I wanted to add some extra wishes for everyone to feel better soon. I’m so sorry to hear that now Bill is sick, too.
Christmas trees and opening presents can be any day you want it to be. The boys will still have their fun when everyone is well enough.
I’m sending all the love and healing thoughts I can. I wish I could take away all of these difficult times and give you health, rest, and good times.
I love you all so very much on Christmas Day and every other day of the year.

Dear Santa,
If you delivered this plague on the family, I am putting YOU on the naughty list!
I hope the family recovers and you all can have a good Christmas. Those stupid tummy bugs are the worst things ever. We will send good wishes your way and hope that the bug leaves as fast as it came.
