Sick Family Question

So, when your son has been sick and unable to keep solids or fluids in for a couple days and your wife just started having the same symptoms, do you start eating as much food as possible before the inevitable sickfest hoping to stockpile as many calories as possible or do you stop eating so that when it happens you get over it quicker.

I happened to go with eating normally and hope that I magically dodge the bullet.

What would you have done?

For the record, everybody seems to be pretty much back to normal today. Which means of course that my turn should be coming in the next day or so and we are off to a big pork chop, chips, desserts family and friends get together a couple hours from home tomorrow. Let’s hope it doesn’t catch up with me on the way home.

Good luck with that! I’m hoping that I don’t get sick on our 9 hour ride back (Your brother-in-law convinced me to go visit his sister “on the way” back). Crossing my fingers! ;)

p.s. TOTALLY worth it if I do get sick in exchange for all the sick boy hugs on Friday!

In your case, I usually limit myself to drinking cocktails at the bar of the hotel I fled to.
