This past weekend Colin, Catie and I flew up to Seattle to visit Colin's sister Erin. Erin is in the interim athletic director at Seattle Pacific University. I know, awesome huh. Here is a link of you want to read about her becoming the AD http://www.spufalcons.com/news/gen/2008/7/8/0708_gen_july8.asp?path=gen
FYI- she hates the picture!
We got there on Friday and a car service picked us up due to the fact that Erin drives a beattle and having a baby means that you travel with a lot of stuff: pack n' play, car seat, stroller, luggage. They sent a town car to pick us up and a suburban to drive us back. As you can tell, we had tons of stuff. We had a great dinner and headed to bed since Saturday was a big day. The girls basketball team was playing in a televised game and Erin was being interviewed at half time. So cool!
Well, in the middle of the night I woke up and didn't feel so well. I think that I caught the stomach flu (and everything that comes with it). I didn't feel great on Saturday so I stayed away from Catie. On Saturday afternoon Catie had a bottle and then threw up everywhere (she normally doesn't even slightly spit up). We cleaned her up only for her to throw two more times. I knew that something was wrong so I called our doctor's night nurse and she told me to give her 2 tbs of pedia lite every twenty minutes for 2 hours. Once that was done I should give her 2 ounces every hour. I gave Catie a bath and start the pedia lite routine. I put Catie down for the night and she slept until 7. She seemed much better on Sunday and I felt 100% percent better. We took a 2 pm flight home and Catie slept the whole way. Things were looking good until on the way back from the airport she got sick again. I took off her clothes and covered her with a blanket and she got sick once more. It then took off the blanket and covered her with my shirt. Let's just say that it was an interesting car ride home. I called the doctor again and so began the pedia lite routine.
Catie slept next to us on Sunday night and I woke up at 3 am and noticed Colin wasn't there. I went looking for him and guess what...he caught the stomach flu and everything that went with it! I stayed home on Monday and took care of Catie and Colin who was stationed in the guest room with movies. It took about 24 hours for Colin to start to feel better and we are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. The stomach flu played a really mean game of tag with the O'Connell's. Let's hope for a healthy weekend.
Oh- I forgot to mention that the Falcon ladies won. It was a great game. You can read all about it here: http://www.spufalcons.com/News/wbball/2009/2/7/09_wbb_Feb7.asp?path=wbball
