What a not fun night. I got the stomach thing that a few people had last week, and I got it bad. I felt fine when I went to bed, and woke up an hour later with just enough time to run to the bathroom before I got sick. I then proceeded to throw up 25-30 times over the next 10 hours. I had a fever of 103.5, and every inch of my body is in serious pain. I even called my mom at 5am because I was so sick that I couldn't move and wasn't sure what to do. Thankfully, my fever started to break around 1, and I'm feeling a little bit better. I was so bummed about missing kids church though. I'll go a month without going to church or life group, which is way too long. I'm really missing the fellowship and feeling a little dry and slumpy. Hopefully I'm feeling better enough on Tuesday or Wednesday to spend some time with people before I leave for Lauren's wedding.
**Update**
I think today will go down as one of the worst days of my life. My fever that had broken is back up, and I still can't even keep down a few sips of water. Ashley (roommate who's a nurse) happened to stop in this afternoon while she was passing through town to Bloomington. She did say that if tomorrow I still can't even keep down a sip of water I should probably call the doctor. I'm so dehydrated that my vision is blurring and my arms, legs, and face are tingling. Not fun. I hate the flu.

I'm sorry that you got it so bad! Dave had it bad too. Hopefully it won't last long and you will start regaining your strength soon. Kid's church was crazy. We had 9 kids and they were none of the normals (except Raya) and they were all between the ages of 5-9. Not quite the age appropriateness of the lesson I had last-minute planned (nor the one I am sure you had in mind). It was probably a good thing that you stayed at home. Get better soon! Don't forget to take it easy the next day or so...your body needs the time to recoup a little bit!
