Pish, Katie and I got food poisoning this weekend.  It was not pretty.  It first started at 10:30pm when Katie vomited in her bed.  We cleaned her up and moved her to another room.  Within 10 minutes she vomited again but luckily Pish was able to catch some of it in his hand and rush her to the bathroom.  Then we had to give her a bath because it was in her hair too.  Then she was back in bed an vomited again into a bag ( I was a little more prepared this time) but still some got on the bed.  So we moved her to the third room when I started to get sick myself.  Vomiting and diarrhea are no fun.  I couldn’t even lie down without feeling nauseous.  I eventually took a dramamine and was able to sleep from 2-5am.  Midnight was about the time Pish started having diarrhea too.  Luckily he did not puke and was able to start some laundry in the middle of the night.  Our house did not smell good.

At 5am, Katie started crying and I noticed that there was blood on the bed.  Her nose was bleeding (at least it wasn’t puke but it was another contaminated bed).  At 5:45am, I called my mom to see if she could come over to our house.  I was hoping she could watch Katie while I cleaned up all the beds.  Well, I ended up being too sick to even sit up so my mom watched Katie and cleaned up the house.  THANKS MOM!!

Pish cancelled all his patients for the day and took Katie the doctor.  He confirmed it was probably food poisoning and was not the Swine Flu.  phew!  He prescribed her some anti-vomiting meds and she was fine for the rest of the day.

We are all better today!  I’m working from home and my mom is watching Katie again just to be safe but our schedules should be back to normal by tomorrow.  I did talk to some people from the birthday party we went to on Saturday and more than 10 people got sick.  They think it’s salmonella in the alfalfa sprouts from the wraps they served.  (http://www.fda.gov/bbs/topics/NEWS/2009/NEW02001.html).  Since we all got sick on Sunday night, we thought it was something we ate on Sunday but I guess that was not the case.

I’m just glad it’s not swine flu!!  And don’t worry…I’m make sure there are no alfalfa sprouts at Katie’s party this weekend.
