My sister-in-law is pregnant again - this is their third (this is not the same sis-in-law who had a baby in early January, obviously) and is SO sick. Can't keep anything down. Their first two kids had the stomach flu all week, and she caught it too, making things even worse. Finally Mom & Dad went up there (they live in Davis, near Sacramento) and watched the kids on Saturday so my brother could take her to the hospital where they gave her lots of IV fluids and anti-nausea medication... and sent her home. Okay. Yesterday, we find out my brother now has this stomach flu. Stephanie (sis-in-law) isn't any better. Stephanie has now been admitted to UC Davis Med. Center; Randy (my bro) is home alone feeling miserable; Stephanie's sister came and got the kids and will keep them at her place for a few days - they'll have fun playing with their cousins(the kids are over their illness, thank God). And now? My mom and dad both have this stomach flu. ::sigh:: I better not get it. We cannot all be sick at the same time. That just won't work. And while my sis-in-law is in the hospital too. Not good. I'm sure everyone will be fine, but it's kind of stressful right now.

I think I'll go wash my hands again... just in case. I'm feeling a ::facepalm:: moment, but refuse to put my hands on my face until after I've washed them... again. Heh.

Keep your fingers crossed that I don't get sick.

( And just 'cause I feel like it, here's my niece and nephew list... )
