An Interesting Start

Well technically its day 3 of my Colorado vacation. Crysta, Carter and I drove out with Terrill and Stephanie to Colorado on Tuesday the 29th. The trip was going really well until we got to about Limon, Colorado. I took over driving for Terrill and thats when all the excitment started. Carter got upset in his carseat, and we thought it was because he wanted out and Terrill wasn't getting him out. Eventually he vomited everywhere. We thought it was because he was so upset. Then around Byers (about an hour away from my Dad's house) Carter started to vomit consistantly, All over poor Terrill.. At first it was a little humorous since Terrill nor Stephanie handle vomit very well,and since I was driving I couldn't do much. But then when Carter wouldn't stop and he started to get really pale, I started to worry. Terrill was a trooper though!
Carter continued to heave the rest of the evening. Then on Wednsday, he slept all day. waking up for maybe 10 minuets at a time, and to sip on a bottle. I did some things around my Dads house for him, including dusting and mowing his lawn. Crysta played in the sprinklers for a while. Then we went next door, where a little girl about her age lived. We knocked on the door, to see if maybe she wanted to play outside for a while. but the Mom (Laura) had just layed down her 3 year old, and 11 month old for naps, and offerd for Crysta to come in and play. Crysta had no problem, and i welcomed the play time for her. about 3 hours later she came home! She had a lot of fun, and Laura said she really enjoyed having Crysta over.
Thursday I woke up feeling a little off. To make a long story short I spent all day yesterday in my Dad's basement with a cold rag on my head and heaving into the toilet! I hadn't had anything to eat all day so I was just heaving with no success! Poor Crysta. Thankfully my Aunt Sharron came over and brought Crysta a bunch of goodies, and let Crysta help her in the kithcen all day. She would periodically come down to check on me. She would cover me with the blanket and kiss my forehead! What a sweet girl I have! Im feeling better today, but my Dad now has it, and is resting in his room. So I am disinfecting everything, while still trying to take it easy! We were supposed to have a family bbq tonight, but i dont think that is going to happen now! I hope Crysta doesn't come down with anything, because we are heading up to camp tomorrow!
Terrance left after work last night and drove straight through. I think he got here about 4 am this morning. He will probably sleep the whole day. I sure hope he doesn't catch anything either. I am just glad that all this happend here and not at camp. I am keeping my fingers crossed, and just hope that this is the end of it. Carter still is a little off, and all he wants to do is cuddle and sleep. My fear is that Crysta will get it, then Terrance. i sure would hate for Terrance to have to spend his vacation fighting off the flu!
