All is not well in my nest. As you know, I got sick on Saturday. Sunday I was down for the count. Monday I tried crackers. Tuesday I limped through work with crackers and ginger ale. Yesterday was the first day I could say I was honestly feeling more like myself and had somewhat of an appetite. Then I came home from work and discovered DS9 had a belly ache.He threw up twice before falling asleep. Then he woke at 3:00am. He spent his time, in the bathroom, on the couch, in the bathroom, on the floor, before he finally ended up on DH's side of the bed. My poor little man! I feel his pain!
I'm feeling really bad. He most likely got this from me. I've been trying to wash everything up, but doing my research I've learned the Norovirus can be spread by "exposure to aerosolized vomit."
Nice. I've also learned it could take 2 weeks to completely get out of your system. I'm sure the rest of the nest will fall soon as well.
I told my family I had changed my mind about getting Wii Fit. They had already spoiled me on Mother's Day, plus feeling under the weather, I wasn't looking forward to exercising. They were out shopping last night and found one. Now that its here, I guess I'll let them keep it!
We haven't tried it yet, given our current wellness status, but I'm a bit nervous since I saw it calculates BMI! Do I want to know this?!! Actually I'm sure this will be a great tool for our family to improve our fitness.
I have vowed to get back on track with my wellness goals. Having this virus, (or whatever it truly was), has given me the opportunity to start fresh. Being sick meant I actually went days without eating cookies and treats! My stomach has shrunk I'm sure, but I wouldn't recommend to anyone getting sick. I'm just determined to turn this unfortunate experience into a positive.

Being sick is never fun. Hope you get over it soon. Wii fit looks neat. When you are feeling better post how you like it. Hope your household gets better soon.
Yeah, let us know about the Wii Fit... if it really seems to do what it says it can! Sorry you're sick. Get better! We have some awful bug here too, one that includes a MAJOR sore throat that lasts for a week. And now this morning Toto woke up with what looks like pink eye. I'm not happy.
Hope everyone gets better soon. Stomach bugs are never fun.
Sorry to hear you have been been sick and I hope everyone in the family feels better soon. Stomach bugs are the worst.
I'm sorry DS is sick. :( It's bad enough when adults are sick, but you never want to see your kids feeling badly. :( I hope both of you get back to 'normal' sooner than later!
Well, I guess it wasn't food poisoning after all. Not that that makes it any better! Although.... isn't your DH out with my DD right now! I better text her and tell her not to stand to close to Uncle Popcorn!!
DS12 fell ill today too. They are bouncing back much more quickly though than I did. Hopefully Uncle P doesn't have it! He has a knack for leaving me with sick children.
I have a question to ask you about Lincoln Park Zoo. I should just email you directly. Sorry!
You can email me or just ask.... which ever is fine!
I hope everyone gets well soon!
;)
I hope they feel better very quickly!
Hope the household gets well soon! I started an exercise program too and then it got interrupted with some school volunteering and "life" so I restart once school is out. It was nice to find one I enjoyed as I am not a person to go to gyms.
