HQ,
The "illness" infiltrated the Forbes' household on Wednesday night. The male child, Rhys, and the female infant both started vomiting. As a result the parental figures were up and changing sheets several times during the night. By all accounts, the infant female recovered from the vomiting the next day, but was put on a strict regimen of Pedilyte for 2 days. Unfortunately, the one they call "Rhys" continued barfing for 3 days. The father figure of the household was attacked by the illness on Friday.
The eldest male child and the mother fight for survival amid the compromised family members. It has been a perilous fight, sometimes coming into direct contact with said vomit. Thankfully it seems that the illness is abating, and that the house is almost clear of contagion. I will be happy to leave this place and breath fresh air again.
