Vacation is Over
January 26th, 2008 
UPDATE: So this is Heather’s hand taken this morning. After Heather couldn’t keep down anything, including water or a clear sports drink, we sought medical help and were directed to the local hospital. Heather got a 2-liter I.V. (two 1-liter bags), a shot of Demerol and a shot of an anti-nausea med. She immediately felt better, but I don’t think they gave her enough of the anti-nausea meds because she is still feeling horrible. After the 5 hour ER trip, I forced Heather to sleep, I loaded up and got out of California. I’m killing time before Coco’s last outing of the day and thought I’d post a quick update on Heather based on the email and Twitter traffic. We’ll be home tomorrow. And I couldn’t be happier.
One of the reasons I pushed to get out today:
Yeah. Super. o

If I wasn’t such a germ-a-phob, I give you all a big hug and kiss.
Safe travels and settled tummies for all.

Hope the next trip fairs better! My hubby and I got sick over the holidays so we basically just wrote it off as just a bad memory. =)

Good thinking to outrun the storm…Would hate to have a new “Donner Party”

In England we just had a stomach bug like this going around: 100,000 people a week were coming down with it and flooded all the hospitals. So while it might not be so great now, at least when Heather’s better she’ll be able to take some comfort in knowing she wasn’t alone in this one!!

Sorry to hear you had such a sucky time in San Diego! At least you got a little beach time, but it’s been raining nonstop since you left anyway. Hope you’re both feeling better soon!

You guys really do seem to have the worst luck with vacations and getting sick and what not. Take care of yourselves!

I visited LA for the first time last week/weekend, and of course it was raining and cold the entire time. I feel your pain.

So glad to hear the whole family is safe and home. I’m a huge fan of you and Heather, and I’m so sorry to hear how bad your vacation was. There truly is nothing worse than being sick and away from home - I once had the worst case of parasites/food poisoning on a tropical vacation and just wanted to die, so I know how it is. I hope things are on the upswing for all of you, and that Leta, Chuck and Coco can cheer you up!
