I think we're through the worst of the plague

There's a stomach bug going around that has hit most of our house in the past few days. My daughter was hit with it on Sunday, my little guy was hit with it on Monday, and I had it yesterday (along with 2 of the older kids). I couldn't do much besides sip water and lie comatose in bed most of the day without setting off spasms of vomiting that would leave me covered in a cold sweat.
This thing hits FAST, and I'm expecting everyone else in the house to come down with it at any time. The good news is it seems to be over with almost as quickly, although I'm still feeling achy and shaky today. I haven't had much real food yet... I'm very hungry but terrified of setting off those stomach cramps again.
Luckily we're stocked up with cans of chicken rice soup and ginger ale and bottles of kombucha and Gatorade (or at least the other half's store's equivalent of Gatorade), so we should survive the next wave of illness.

@much2say There's one person who didn't get it, and we're hoping she misses this round entirely.

I'm glad you're feeling better, fingers crossed it doesn't hit the others and that y'all feel better soon.

There's one person who hasn't gotten it yet, and we're looking at her like she's a bomb about to go off.

Yes, extremes in temperatures like that make me sick too.

I have some of that on hand in the freezer too. I'm better today, but more family members have come down with it. I'm hoping we'll all be done soon.

@spiderdust sorry that everyone got hit. Glad there hasn't been any repeats!

No such luck! But at least nearly everyone has had it at this point and there haven't been any repeats.
