I survived (again)...
Ok, so my last post was about how I survived a terrible ordeal. So guess what happens one week after the posting on 3/4/07? You guessed it - it happened again.
My daughter Katie (the youngest) came down with a nasty stomach flu on Friday night. I spent most of the night sitting up with her. She was so bad off that even Kelly felt compelled to come over and spend a few hours comforting her. She couldn't keep anything down and was throwing up everything we put in her.
Despite constant hand washing, I somehow managed to get the virus. I had a headache by Saturday night and on Sunday morning I felt too poor to go to church. I was amazed by how quickly I went from feeling no-so-good to feeling awful. By noon, I was almost comatose with my heart stopping twice for about 10-15 seconds each. Thank goodness, Rachel was here by 10:00 and called 911 for me. I wasn't conscious for most of it, but did have the presence of mind to realize I was being loaded into an ambulance and taken to the hospital.
I started feeling like I was in the land of the living by Tuesday morning, but somehow, this bug slapped about 50 IQ points outta me. Now, a full week later, I still feel really dizzy, nauseaus, and plain ol' stupid. My current condition reminds me of a nasty handover, except that I didn't have a fun drunk before hand.
Hope you're doing better than I am...

I forget the channel on TV but they had a FLU map, like a weather map of the country. That was a little freaky to me.
Glad to hear that you're doing better. All of us over on Chickenshack were pretty worried. Those of us who pray were praying for you.
