. I made the mistake of telling the DIS to pray for me and got whipped because everyone thought I had the swine flu..... since I'm not all that concerned about it I didn't even realize that throwing up was a symptom! 
I remember that thread from last week. You really took a beating. Glad you are all better now.Last week Tuesday
Hope you feel better and be grateful that mess is not front page news anymore!

Thankfully, my water hadn't broken and they were able to get some fluids and electrolites in me and I was able to make it thru delivery. No time for an epidural. Quite an adventure.
Dec 22-23, 2008. Easy for me to remember. My oldest 2 kids started it, within hours DD4 had it. By about 11 that night, I started feeling bad. DH told me to go to bed and he kept vomit watch on the kids. 2 am, I was in the bathroom, over and over again. The problem was that I was 37 weeks pregnant with number 5 and dehydration can induce labor. I started trying to keep gatorade down when contractions started at noon on the 23rd. Didn't work. DH came home from the store where he was buying more gatorade to try to help me. Went to the dr, confirmed that I was in labor. They told me good luck and they hoped I would make it to the hospital. (I had been in labor about 2 1/2 hrs). Had to go home, drop off the kids and wait a little for someone to come sit with them, DH took off like a maniac to the hospital (keep in mind I am dehydrated, feel terrible, and having contractions). Ended up calling the EMS because I couldn't breath who took me the rest of the way to the hospital. 28 min after arriving, there was little Rubie.
Oh, and the family came to us since we had a baby and it was Christmas. Yep, they caught the bug and instead of being able to rest, our house was filled with vomit from everyone else. We, of course, hadn't had time to disinfect since I was still sick when I went into labor.
Then came bronchiolitis, RSV, and the baby just had another stomach bug. She's had quite a life.
No one will forget the stomach bug of Christmas 2008!
