Family Health Update

I just feel like writing this post because if I ever read back on this blog as the story of my life, I will want to know the outcome of my illness this week.  So it turns out I just had a 24 hour flu thing.  I never believed in the 24 hour flu.  Literally.  I thought it was a myth, or food poisoning. But I really was just sick for seriously 24 hours, to the minute.  I got sick around 4:00 while I was at the zoo, went from feeling great to suddenly being punched in the stomach, I felt well enough to go for my short 2.5 mile run that evening, but my crazy leg pain wasn't because of my run, it was because of the flu.  I know this because Skylar contacted the exact same thing I had the next day, he started feeling sick around 4:00, couldn't sleep all night because he was achy, spent the day throwing up, then was better by dinner the next day, around the same time he started feeling ill.
I cant' say whether or not Gracie got any form of the flu as well because she got some shots the day Skylar was sick and was acting a bit unhappy, but I couldn't tell whether it was from the shots, or the flu.  She never threw up, just acted clingy, sleepy and achy.
