Wow frieda7, those were some powerful stories. I hear stories from people all the time and it is amazing to me that people are able to get through the things they do. My brother told me a story the other day about a young couple he is friends with. They have a 1.5 year old and a 4 month old. The 4 month old has to be rushed to the ER the other day because of breathing issues. Turns out the baby has RSV. The very next day, the 1.5 year old was vomitting incontrolably, and also had to be rushed to the ER. While at the ER the 2nd time, the mom got violently ill and started vomitting. By the time they got home that evening the dad got the 24 hour bug and was (well you guessed it) vomitting. On top of all of this, the dad has been working 11-12 hours a day - being worked to death basically. My brother and I were both just shocked at this story. Whew! I know I couldn't handle all of that and wouldn't want to.
