I feel silly asking for prayers, but that is just my pride and I need to get over it. So here goes...

My whole family is going through a very bad case of "the stomach flu". The youngest came down with it Monday. the three others started up yesterday and now Husband and I have it. We can barely drag ourselves out of bed, everyone has a fever and every one of my mixing bowls has been wretched in multiple times.

Please pray for us. This is a horrible case (I contemplated calling an ambulance several times last night) and the first time we have all been this sick at the same time.

Thank you!

I'm so sorry to hear of your whole family illness - that's when it is especially hard. I'm praying for you all for a quick recovery.

Praying, Matilda! These flus are SO awful. Please rest and sip, sip, sip liquids (especially when a stomach flu combines with fever.) Our family had one of these 12 yrs. ago and I remember it like yesterday .

Love,

Prayers for a quick recovery. We have all come down with the flu before, but not at the same time, we staggered it by a few days. I can't imagine going through it altogether.

Thanks to everyone for all the prayers. The power of prayer is amazing! The doctor said we should be all better by Sunday, but I am happy to say that we are already feeling on the mend.

We have had some bad viruses before, but never all at the same time. Thankfully, Husband and I had our difficult moments at alternating times.

On the plus side...Husband says he is buying me new mixing bowls once we feel well enough to put on real clothes.
