Seriously? I want off the rollercoaster!

Pretty much sums up life.....

Last update was Wednesday, the day before Brody's important test on his gut. Well, we didn't make it to that appointment. That morning at 4am Ricky feed him since he couldn't have fluids after that point. He spit up a bit but Ricky didn't think anything of it because that is "normal". I go in at 6:30am to find him asleep in a ton of throw up. That started this hell. I canceled the appointment, called the Pedi, and cut off his food to put him on clear liquids. By Friday night, I think he is back to normal and he must have just ate something that didn't agree with him. Saturday morning at 1:30am I brought Brody into the girls' room to change him. I turn the light on to find Madi sitting up in her crib. She had not made a peep! I was startled  because that is not normal for her. Go over to her crib to find her head to toe in throw up. I freaked out! It was way worse than Brody's had been. I scream for Ricky who is sound asleep because he has to work Saturday. A bath later, I'm giving her Pedialyte. She drinks about 4oz and throws up ALL OVER ME! Another bath later, I have her settled with me on the couch. Then I hear Gracie make a really weird noise. Jump up to find that she has thrown up EVERYWHERE! A bath later, we all settle in different places of the house to sleep but the problem was the kids were up sick so at 5am I finally have everyone settled and go to sleep. I wake up at 7am to find Gracie on the floor (still have no clue on that one) and she had thrown up again! She has another bath and once I have her settled in it HITS me like a ton of bricks! I'm sick too!  I tell Ricky to get home but only find he is sick too! So that has been our night and day- Sicker than a dog! 
I had wonderful plans for Saturday- all down the drain! I need my little family healthy and well again! I hate this! So crazy coaster, I would like to get off the ride now, take my family off the ride too, and just be on solid ground to chill, get hydrated, and be well!
I'm so worried about the weight loss this has done to the kids. With all the pressure to have them gain- we didn't need this.
