What A Week!!!

I have had one of the worst weeks ever!! It actually started last weekend. Sarah woke up Saturday morning with the stomach bug, which i thought was at first just nerves because i having family from out of town visiting and some friends and family coming over for a small get together. She couldn't keep anything down all day that by the end of the day she couldn't even sit up! She kept chewing on her tongue and her eyes started rolling in the back of her head i freaked out and took her to St. Peters emergency room. The nurse took one look at her and immediately hooked her up to an IV. She was put under observation in the ER for two hours at which time they would see if she could keep fluids down. She was so lethargic that she slept the entire time. When she woke up and tried to take a sip of juice it stayed down for about 10 minutes. The doctor called the Pediatrician and she was admitted 12:00 for dehydration. Jon still had to work so he went home to get some much needed rest while i hunkered down by Sarah's bedside for the night. By the next morning she was getting better, she was at least awake and alert, the doctor came to check on her and said that if she could keep fluids down she could be relased by late afternoon. Thankfully she kept down fluids and was relased by 3:00pm. By the time we got Sarah home and settled, Jessica decided it was her turn and threw up in the kitchen just as i was Sarah a popsicle. Thankfully Jessica did not get as bad as Sarah. But it was still hard to try and take care of two sick kids! So i had two sick kids in my bed and a 10 month old that also wanted my attention. I tried to divide my time equally but it was very hard. Jon took a day off to help me, which was really appreciated! Needless to say it doesn't end there. Amanda also got sick! She was not as bad as the rest she only had her for one day, by that night she was drinking small amounts of formula with no problem. Unfortunately Jon and myself didn't miss the sickness we both came down with small bouts of the stomach virus. Hopefully we are all done with that nasty virus!!! The girls seem to be themselves again and Jon and I are slowly recovering.
On a good note, the girls seem to be loving the warm weather we are currently having! They spent most of today outside. I have a feeling this weekend they will spend mostly outside as well, as long as the rain stays away! Well that's all for now!!
