A Night We Hope Not to Repeat

I picked up Kelsey from Mary's yesterday and she said her belly hurt, but she didn't go on about it at all. During supper, she once again said her tummy hurt, but this mommy kind of blew it off as Kelsey not wanting to eat. We went on about our night and I gave the girls a bath. Thank goodness Matt had come home from baseball just in time to join in all the festivities. I got Megan out of the bath and Matt got her in her jammies. She was ready for bed. I scrubbed up Kelsey and got her out of the bath and Matt was holding her in the living room about to put on lotion when it happened. Kelsey said, " My tummy really hurts!" And without getting into too many gross details, she covered both herself and Matt while throwing up. In the meantime, Matt is yelling, "Help, get me something." So, I put Megan in her high chair because I don't want her to be on the floor which is completely covered as well. Megan did not like this at all and of course let us know by crying so hard that it made my heart break. Matt had made his way with Kelsey to the shower where he was going to attempt to wash both himself and Kelsey. However, while turning on the shower, the shower head broke. Seriously, at that moment in time, the shower head busted off and was spewing water all over. So onto Plan B--um, there is no Plan B. They had to shower with the water blasting everywhere. I am not one for cleaning up that kind of mess and so now I was gagging like crazy because I couldn't stand the smell, the everything and I wanted to try to salvage our carpet. Unfortunately, it has a stain that we cannot get out. We used all the carpet cleaner we had left, but it won't come out. Kelsey proceeded to throw up 5 more times throughout the next 5 hours. Somehow I did manage to get Megan to sleep so at least she was away from the mess. Poor Kelsey was awesome through all of it. Well, as awesome as you can be anyway. She and Daddy slept on the couch and she woke up feeling much better. Unfortunately, Megan got a little touch of it and tonight I am not feeling the best. Will Mattey be next? I hope not! But by the way, thank goodness he was able to jump right into action and take over because I have a lot of learning to do when it comes to chaos like that. Oh and there will be no pictures accompanying this post--you're welcome :)

Nights like that are so tough! I hope everyone feels better soon!

We have a carpet cleaner called Woolite Oxy Deep that works very well. You can get it from WalMart/Target - might be worth a try. :) It's in a blue spray bottle with a neon green lid.
