Thanksgiving Flu...

I think I may be the only pregnant girl out there that actually lost weight on Thanksgiving weekend!! Brandon, Brady and I drove to Illinois on Wednesday (before Thanksgiving) ready for family time and great Holiday cooking!! Who would've thought we'd all end up with the stomach flu! It started with Brady, early Thursday morning. He woke up getting sick, which continued on and off for the rest of the day. Poor little guy... I hadn't ever seen him get sick like that before. It was so hard to see my baby so sick. But, he kept on going... he would get sick, need some Mommy cuddles and then five minutes later be his normal, fun self again until the queasy stomach started to turn again a few hours later... This continued off and on most of the day until early Friday morning.

Then it was my turn! Friday night I started to not feel so well... and then it got to my Mom. Her and I both were soooo sick all Friday night until the wee hours Saturday morning. Thank goodness for my Dad! He never did catch the flu bug! He was able to really help us out with Brady. Had he been sick too I don't know what we would've done... because not long after, Daddy got it! Brandon started getting sick Saturday morning which led into Saturday night. Finally Sunday came and we were all feeling a lot better! But, Unfortunately it was time for us to load up the car and drive back to Nebraska! Not really the way we planned on spending our Thanksgiving Holiday!!

After we returned home, it was reported that after we left most of the Patterson household was struck by the stomach flu and my sister, Katie, who was in Florida when we were there. She got back home a day after we left, but still somehow ended up with it! That was one powerful flu bug!!!
