Kids!!!!

Last Sunday, we did not go to church because Ashlynn had a cold and I wanted her to get over it asap. I always feel bad about missing church because my calling is more Sunday oriented. During the week she recovered while Martin and Alex both started getting sick. Martin became congested and just didn't feel real well all week. Alex started out getting congested and then it all went down hill. Wednesday night she threw up all over herself, her bed, her sister's bed...(Bunk beds have their downfalls, one being when the person throwing up is on the top bunk it is much more messy.) The girls moved into the living room for sleeping while Martin and I tried to clean and disinfect their room. Alex acted sick at first but never threw up again. Today, I thought she must be better because she was eating again, had not thrown up and did not have a fever. With no noticeable signs of sickness I proceeded to get everyone to church. Before church she said her tummy hurt but I assumed it was other problems. We got to church 15 minutes early like always. I went out to get a tithing slip and when I got back one of my counselors was calling me over to our seats. There was Alex with throw up all over herself, the pew, the floor... Why did she just sit there? Why had she not gone to the bathroom? We started to clean her up so we could leave as discreetly as possible when she projectile vomited again. After trying to clean up the area as well as I and Bridgett could, I left and took her. She went into the tub and her clothes into the washing machine. All signs of her throw up are now gone and she is again acting like nothing ever happened. With the amount of torture parents have to put up with it is no wonder parents turn around in later years and embarrass their teenage children...it's just a thought.
