More Sickness

2026-01-26

Hi, this is more for me than for you.

I thought that I was getting better and our kids were on the mend. I was very sick two (or three I forget now) days ago. Our oldest was very sick yesterday. Our youngest was very sick three days ago.

I assumed that most sickness is kind of like a roller coaster, a big down and then leveling off. So I had a big down swing two days ago but today the sickness has struck again and I have terrible terrible diarrhea. And just tonight Sneha found our youngest son asleep in a pool of his own vomit. It was wild he was sound asleep after vomiting. I am glad he was asleep on his side. We cleaned him up, he vomited a few more times, and we cleaned him up again, and then we put him to sleep.

And the only thing I really learned is that sickness is not like a roller coaster, right now it has hit me twice hard, but hopefully it relents soon. I sometime over estimate how quickly things get done, and I need to not do that. A sickness will take as long as it takes.
