Stomach bug bites again

It took Emily about a day and a half to get over her stomach flu. Yesterday, Mathilde couldn't get off work because she was responsible for running a big workshop. So, my Mom took me to chemo and Mathilde's Dad, Anders, worked from home so he could care for Emily. When we returned from the hospital in the afternoon, Emily was back to her old self, so we all crossed our fingers that the bug was behind us.

Mathilde arrived home from work with these two cakes that were left-overs from the workshop (I didn't think to ask why they were serving kermit the frog cakes at a workshop for adults).



She wasn't home long before she mentioned that her stomach felt weird. She also confessed that she left the workshop with three cakes, so I assumed that her queasy stomach was more related to consuming half a pound of green marzipan.

Turns out the kermit cake was pretty innocuous, because by nine in the evening it was clear that Mathilde had a full blown stomach flu. After watching Emily and Mathilde fight this bug, I think I'll just stick to plain old chemo. It does not look like fun. I'm hoping that having all this poison in my body will kill any stomach flu germs. And I think my poor Mom is just crossing everything she has hoping it doesn't hit as she buckles into the plane tomorrow morning.

The good news is Mathilde is feeling much better now, but it was a rough night.
