Thanksgiving, Chapter Two

Well, Dennis & I didn't have the Thanksgiving we had hoped for.  Wednesday afternoon I made my 2 pumpkin pies and 1 mincemeat pie.  I felt perfectly fine.  I was planning on us going to El Reno to spend the night.  That way we could help mom & dad the next morning.  Dennis was outside working when my stomach started to hurt.  At 7:00 I called mom and told her we weren't coming to spend the night.  I still didn't think I was getting the stomach flu.  My stomach just ached.

Later I got the full-blown stomach flu with all of the crummy symptoms!  I spent a totally miserable night.  Thanksgiving morning I started to feel a little better, my stomach started to settle down.  I still had a fever, but I was able to drink a little Powerade.  Dennis now had all the full-blown flu symptoms!

I called my liver specialist's office and a nurse returned my call.  She told me to take Tylenol and Immodium.  I was afraid to take either one because of my condition, but she told me all of the liver specialists allow them.  My fever never went below 100, but I did feel better.

This morning we are both much better.  I'm afraid to eat anything, but might try some chicken noodle soup later.  As for my pies, I guess I'm throwing them away.  I certainly don't want to reinfect myself!

Oh, yes, I forgot to tell you that Hayley was also sick with the same thing.  Precious little Molly had been sick Monday night, but we all thought she was just teething.  Aaron is sick today!  I'm sure Nicholas & Brooke are glad that we didn't get anywhere near them.  I'm worried about Linda, Regina, Bethany, Cameron, & Olivia because we had had a delightful visit with them Wednesday!
