Chain of Events

• One week ago today - body aches, fever, horrible headaches, nausea for Mamma Bear

• Thurs all day and into Friday - complete misery for her.  But finally better on Sat. and never officially threw up

• Sunday - Pappa Bear started getting same symptoms.  Lasted through Tuesday morning and better

• Monday in the middle of the night - Joshua Bear throws up all night.  Unable to do any homework on Tuesday and miserable.

• Tuesday morning - Jonathan Bear's cold turned more crupe like.  Cough sounded horrible with low grade fever.  Pretty bad running nose too.

• Wed morning (today) - Joshua Bear is finally better, but missed school to make sure contagious symtoms are not spread.

• Today after school - Caleb's teacher notifies us that Caleb feels like he might throw up around 3:30

• By 4:00, Caleb Bear is officially sick

• By 5:00 - Ashlyn Bear joins him and says that her stomach has never hurt so much before in her life

• Around 6:00, Joshua Bear and Mamma Bear enjoy making dinner for one another - Cashew Chicken (I didn't know we would all be sick this morning when I picked the menu). 

• Around 7:00, Jonathan Bear joins the other 2 in the bathroom and begins throwing up.

• Around 7:15, Papa Bear, Mama Bear, and Joshua Bear start dinner.  We realize half way in that the chicken was not cooked all the way.

• Around 7:30, Papa Bear joins the rest of the crew and begins forming a line at the two bathroom doors

• 8:00, Joshua Bear joins the other 4, but believes it is the chicken and not the stomach flu he already had...we will wait and see.

• Yes, it is only 8:30.  Yes, I have cleaned up way too much already and wished our 3rd bathroom was done.  I have setup a temporary bed for me tonight in between the two bathrooms where the rest will most likely sleep.  Wonder what I will report tomorrow...
