I’ll make a long and gross story as short as possible. Everyone in the house except me was stricken by some strange stomach virus. First Max on Tuesday then Joe Thursday afternoon, and finally Lisa and Sammy Thursday around midnight.
That would be the end of a short and disgusting Thanksgiving story… except for the fact that the flu caused Lisa to get dehydrated… which caused stress on baby X… which caused premature labor symptoms… which necessitated a trip to the Labor and Delivery triage and 11 hours of hydration IVs and drugs to stop the symptoms.
For a while, we though baby X was going to be really early and nameless.
Mother and princess nameless baby X are all fine now.
I’m sure Lisa would agree with me that the stomach flu and 11 hours in the hospital is still preferable to a Black Friday spent at the mall.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
