Reporting illness

Thursday
It started a week ago today.  Parker had a friend get sick at his daycare.  Then at 4:30PM, Parker got his very first flu bug.....and he puked....on Grandma!  He was very sick all night on Thursday evening.  Kim, Parker's daycare provider and her two girls are sick with the flu as well.  Another child also gets sick.

Saturday
Misty woke up at 4AM with Parker's flu.  It was horrible!  Travis, thinking he'd be next was smart enough to begin gathering all of Parker's things.  Parker was taken out of the house and to Travis' parents for an undisclosed amount of time.  We had no idea how long the flu would last.  By the time Travis got to his parents he was sick.  He came home and we both spent the rest of the day/night in different rooms in and out of consciousness...not really on the consciousness, but it sure felt like it!  Parker got to spend his first night away from mom and dad in a rushed, unplanned trip to Grandma and Grandpa's
Misty's dad also becomes ill with the same flu.

Sunday
Neither Travis nor Misty felt better so there was a changing of the guards for Parker duty.  Grandma Vancil meets up with Grandma/pa Stecher and they do the exchange.  Parker spends the rest of the day in Monmouth with Grandma Vancil.  By Sunday night around 6PM Misty and Travis thought they could take care of Parker again, although not quite themselves.  Parker is returned home.
The parent of the two sick day care friends becomes sick with same flu.

Monday
Everyone returns to work and school

Wednesday
Grandma Vancil gets the flu.....sorry Grandma!

Through this report you can tell it's been a rocky health week here. :(  However we are so grateful to have parents/grandparents who live so close that they could bail us out when we physically could not take care of Parker!   Parker had a great time all weekend!  If only we all could have been so lucky!  We hope none of you get this awful bug, it was the worst we have been ill in a long time.
