You mums are just amazing - you deserve a medal for surviving that, doc, as well as a long long sleep!

Wow! That makes my screaming one year old flight back from Hawaii look pleasant.
Hope everyone gets well soon!

Glad you are all home now. May the wee ones feel better soon, may you not get the bug, and I do hope you get some rest.Jennifer

Oh Doc... I really know what you're talking about.
I have 5 kids within a 7-year time frame, and one of the "milestones" of being a parent was when each child could wake up and get themselves to the bathroom before they threw up in their beds or on the carpet... YAY!!!
One of the absolute blessings of a lesson I learned which has saved noses, carpet and money is baking soda.
I always have a couple of boxes in the pantry, despite only needing it in 1/2 to 1 teaspoon lots when cooking.
Sprinkle liberally on vomit spot on carpet, in quilt, on car upholstery - leave to dry and then vacuum... no smell!!! Brilliant.
Wishing you a vomit-free 2007, sounds like you have had your share for the year.
Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
"I will try again tomorrow".

OMG, I think, I'm you, but with dogs instead of kids!
I spent New Year's Eve and Day cleaning up dog vomit from my two dogs - they were both vomiting every hour all day and all night. One dog even made three trips to the vet ($500 later...). Those were the two longest days ever, and as I said to my husband, Happy Effing New Years.
I hope kids and family are all recovered, and that things begin to look up for you this year.
