Well, unfortunately the bug didn't stop with me, but last night around 2:30am Andy decided to join me at the toilet. Maggie awoke at 2:30 last night as well and decided to vomit in the bed she was sharing with Andy. I guess that topped Andy over the edge and he too was sick.
Thankfully, when you ask for strength from God, he gives it and I was able to take care of Maggie and clean her up. We gave her some Benadryl after which she fell fast asleep. We arranged a make-shift bed in her room by placing a mattress from the couch on the floor. I think she knew that we weren't feeling well and decided to sleep with only getting up 1 time to feed.
My nausea thankfully has not come back since around midnight last night, but unfortunately Andy is just not feeling the best. He seems to have the exact same symptoms as what I have had. Though I am feeling better, I am still quite weak and experiencing some bowel issues. Morgan, my sister, has graciously agreed to come and take care of Maggie while we try to mend.
Please continue to pray for our family, that we will all feel better soon and especially that Maggie will not get this nasty bug that we are experiencing.

All right, enough already! This piling on of sickness isn't fair! It isn't fair! It's not fair!
Sometimes you just have to get the anger out there! Even six-hundred miles away!
And then hope this is a short-lived bug and that Maggie doesn't get it. And be thankful for helpful sisters.
And pray for strength to meet what comes. Which I do believe will be much better, and soon.
Still hoping and praying.

Hey Whitney,
I made you guys some banana bread. It is very lightly flavored...thought it might help you eat a little. I'll call you and see if you are interested. I'm so sorry you guys are going through this.
Praying for a quick recovery!

Dear Andy, Whitney and Baby Maggie, OH MY GOODNESS SAKES!!! When it rains.....it pours! First...thanks for keeping all of us up to date on EVERYTHING! WOW...even though you both are sick and Maggie going through all of her treatments and ups and downs you both keep the keyboard busy. I'm impressed and thanks again! I am praying for all of you to GET WELL SOON! And may GOD be with all three of you and give you all your strength back ASAP. Keep your chins up Andy and Whitney and I'll bet Maggie will surprise you again like she did when she started crawling. (way to go Maggie) May God Bless All Of You! :) Love, Tina
I am so sorry you all have been so sick. I wish I could take it away for you or help out in some way. Is there anything I can do? Please let me know, if so. Get some rest, if you can.
Love, Gwen
