The flu

Yup, we got it again. She had been doing so well in her new bed, that I was surprised on Tuesday to hear her call out for me at about midnight. Only, the cry sounded different. And I found out why when I climbed into her bed and found...puke. Yuck! Too late for me, I already had it ON me. I don't know (honestly speaking) if I was more sad for her, or more sad for me, knowing that if I caught it (which I DID) it would be the FIFTH time for me to have the stomach flu since 2006 began. Of course, Kira actually did fine (unlike me) ... I stayed with her and helped clean her up a few more times in the night. By morning, no more puke, only a lingering diarrhea and non-existant appetite. It is amazing to me how little kids can play and be normal while they are sick, and I have to call in the troops to help me when I fall ill.
