On tuesday we flew from Syracuse to Tampa. The flight was delayed because of snow. We missed the connecting flight and get standby seats on the next. My 6 year old had to sit alone. We gave him his FS and he was fine.
Got to FL and my dad needs a pacemaker. He goes in the hospital. I have to babysit my mom who has dementia.
On wed my family and my brother and his family go to the waterpark in Tampa. DS gets norovirus and is hospitalized. He's out but is lethargic and doesn't want to eat.
I wanted to meet up with milee but that isn't gonna happen.

Especially sorry to read this. Hope his surgery went well and baby-sitting Mom isn't too tough. If it doesn't get better soon you can always remember it as the vacation that made you happy to go back to work.

...I sure hope health is restored to all, that you can feel rested despite the difficulties, and that you'll be able to look back and laugh at these stories very soon...

This is one of those stories that will go down in family lore. And someday you'll find some sort of upside to it. Today you should have a drink and try not to be too bummed out by the whole experience.

Man, that sucks! I'm having deja vu. Didn't something horrible happen another time there? Or was that another place? I hope your little guy feels better soon and that your dad does well in recovery. Is your mom getting worse or is she about the same? I'm sorry she got that disease esp. so young.

That was it - your daughter getting into the meds. But I don't remember that about your mom. I'm so sorry to hear that happened too. You and your family are getting it from all ends!

wow.....hope everyone gets well soon....also does your medical insurance cover you in FL? I hope so. Yes, I found out from the last incident with DD that Manatee Memorial hospital is in our insurance network. My sister, who is an MD, got me an appt with her pediatrician when DS wasn't getting better. He referred me to the hospital, so we were ale to transport him ourselves.

Oh, that is truly an awful "vacation." Yuck. So sorry not only for you and your family, but that we're not going to get to have a drink. Next time you're down.
