Sick Bay 102

We have been hit by an aggressive bout of sickness this week. We can't blame the weather as Spring has sprung and it's getting warmer and lighter in the evenings each day. I think I mentioned my ear infection earlier, but everyone has been ill. On Tuesday Flo crawled into bed at 6am, complaining of a tummy ache, before falling into an abrupt deep sleep. A few minutes later she woke up vomiting all over our bed, me, the floor and the toilet. On Friday Rob started complaining that he felt full and unwell. By Saturday night he was doing relays to the loo. On Sunday Scarlett started hacking away with croup and by Sunday afternoon, durng lunch at Maria and Lol's, I started feeling a bit ropey. I was in bed by 5.15pm, feverish yet chilly, aching all over and drifting in and out of sleep. At 6pm Flo appeared in bed next to me and fell straight to sleep. Hoping for a good night's rest, Rob left her there and slept in her bed. I slept fitfully all night and stayed in bed most of today. It is now 4pm and I'm finally coming right. Onwards.
