Lucy gets sick

Poor Lucy, and poor us.  My kids are all different and that is apparent in how they get ill; Jaydon will get croup, Lucy will vomit and Kate will get ear infections.  It is nice to have a variety :-)

We were hosting our last guests of the holidays, Erin and Jason from the midwest (Erin and Jeremy did band stuff together in AK) when Lucy came down with her illness.  I apologize for grossing people out but I have to at least mention this so I can remember years down the road, skip the rest of this paragraph if you don't want any details.  Lucy went to bed, I heard something and thought it was Jaydon still coughing from his croup, then I heard it again (probably about 10 minutes later) and ran into their room, it wasn't Jaydon coughing, it was Lucy throwing up.  It was everywhere on her bed, her hair, her pjs.  It was the biggest disaster I had seen and wasn't even sure how to begin, we had enjoyed spaghetti for dinner.  Poor girl, I think I just stared at her for a minute wondering what to do.  then I got her in a shower and called Jeremy home from our neighbors house to help.  After washing and drying on the sanitize setting 3 full times the sheets and clothes were finally clean.  Whew, quite a disaster and poor Lucy. 
Lucy snuggled up on the couch upstairs away from everyone else.

All the reasonably healthy folks.
