Last one standing

One unique thing about having a larger than normal family is sickness. When it hits one person it takes awhile to get all the way through. I really prefer all of us at the same time. Over two weeks ago we started with something in our house and the last one got it last night. It's a bit of a relief. The waiting and wondering should we go anywhere or let anyone come over? I got it on my birthday last Friday. It wasn't a great day!:) My dad from Wisconsin was visiting and he ended up leaving a day early because two boys got it that day too and there wasn't much for him to do with us. Gideon got it last night but is eating and playing. No-one else could move for about two days and eating? No-way! Most of us couldn't eat for 12 hours or more after it hit us. Even then we couldn't have eaten cornbread with honey on it. He was tough just being the last one and now he's getting through it easier than the rest, for which I am glad. It is hard to see your kids down and out.
