The Sickness Spreads (4 of 5)

Monday Sam went to school and Lucy felt fine.  She at a bunch of food and drank as much grape Pedialyte as I would give her.  She never had a fever and the duration of the sickness was much shorter than it was with Max.  She was acting so fine, in fact, that we Theule’s decided to go to the mall.

Diane and Calvin had originally intended to join us, but at about 6a, Calvin had puked in his bed.  So we were driving around noon in Rob’s newly cleaned car (no vomit smell) when I looked back at Lucy and she had lost the sparkle in her eyes.  I told Toby to turn around, I was not going to the mall with a sick child.  In my mind’s eye, I could see myself having to clean Rob’s car again and scrape barf off of another car seat.  No way!  It turned out that Lucy was just tired.  She fell asleep within about 2 minutes of being in the car and slept for about 3 hours. 

Jesse, Laura, Francie returned to the Perez house to spend the day / night before their flight on Tuesday afternoon.  A few hours into the evening Francie barfed.  This brought the total up to 4 kids, 1 adult.

We all (except Francie and Calvin) enjoyed a great dinner of P.F. Chang’s takeout.  I tried to check in on-line with Northwest but I saw that both of our flights had been canceled.  Toby called on the phone and we were put on a flight via Memphis, TN (instead of Detroit, MI).

We were all to evacuate the Perez house on Tuesday : Camile, Don, Buddy and Cena at 7:30a, us at 10:30a and the Wasson’s at 2:30p.
