Thursday afternoon Kris sent me a message saying that she wasn't feeling well. Her car was having some work done on Friday and we were supposed to drive it down Thursday night and drop it off. By the time I got home from work, it was clear that we weren't going anywhere that night. She spent most of Thursday night throwing up.
The day before she had stopped by her dad's apartment to check up in him and clean up a little. He wasn't in his apartment but she did see a nurse's aide who was also looking for him (They thought he must have been at whatever the physical activity was for the day) but the aide did tell Kris that there was a "stomach flu" going thru the facility. So apparently, the stomach flu found its way to Kris.
Friday she was in bed most of the day as well trying to rest until she felt better. The good thing was that all the vomiting was done within the first ten hours or so that she had it. Today it has just been mainly recovery by sitting on the couch and resting, though she hasn't had any solid food since Thursday afternoon. I saw a story on the news Friday morning where they said the recent flu that has been sweeping through the area is a result of a strain of norovirus. So her run with the virus is about done. However, about four hours ago, Alison came in by us and was complaining of a stomach ache. About an hour or so later, she was throwing up. So now in the last two plus hours she has vomited five times.
So I expect Ali will be laid up most of the day tomorrow. It's just a matter of who will get it next, me or Sarah. Hopefully neither of us, but I thought we were taking pretty good precautions against it before Ali got it. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
