Happy Birthday Clay!

Please...NO more vomit!

OK family... After the week from you know where, I felt that this was appropriate.  I want documentation of this past week so that ONE day we can laugh.  Hahahaha!!!!!
Norovirus Has Many Names

You may hear norovirus illness called "food poisoning" or "stomach flu." Food poisoning can be caused by noroviruses. But, other germs and chemicals can also cause food poisoning.  Norovirus illness is not related to the flu (influenza), which is a respiratory illness caused by influenza virus.

The virus causes your stomach or intestines or both to get inflamed (acute gastroenteritis). This leads you to have stomach pain, nausea, and diarrhea and to throw up.
Norovirus can spread quickly in closed places like daycare centers, nursing homes, schools, and cruise ships (or tight living spaces at gma and gpa's house). Most norovirus outbreaks happen from November to April in the United States.

You are most contagious when you are sick with norovirus illness, and during the first 3 days after you recover from norovirus illness.

As of right now, the count is 13 out of the 15 of us (plus Paul's family) contracted this.  Good times... Good times!  

I'm so glad that we started the week off with the beautiful funeral for grandma.  It was a very sacred, spiritual and memorable time.  One I will never forget.  But once that day was over.... it was all down hill form there.....

I love my family!!  Sorry for my obsessiveness and over reacting.  Hope you still love me!  :)
