I wrote too soon

Well, we got the surgery over with, but we did not avoid the flu! Ryan and I were out at his work Christmas party (which was held at the "Fantasy Suite" at The Palms) when our awesome babysitter Rilie texted to say that June had thrown up twice! Yikes! Poor June. Poor Rilie!

We thought we should remove ourselves home, taking time first to eat a cupcake each. The cupcakes coordinated with little gift bags. You got a gift bag that coordinated with the color of filling inside the cupcake. Ryan and I both ended up getting a yellow cream center inside. I was a little disappointed that we were each getting the same thing, until we opened the gift bags and found $50 cash inside each one. Saweet! It's nice working for a bigger firm :).

So, we hauled home and poor June had a fever. Rilie was a champ and is definitely the #1 babysitter in the history of the world. She kept everything clean, had the dirty clothes and trash from cleaning up wrapped in separate plastic bags. She managed to get Willa to bed and was holding a clean, but sick June. We told Rilie to wash her hands, take a shower when she got home, and wash all her clothing. Then we paid her a nice, fat amount for working under pressure. I hope she doesn't get sick!

The family who watched June while Willa was in surgery had the stomach flu about five days ago, but a good 48-72 hours had passed since they had been sick so I thought she was safe. Plus, it was a very clean home and I know the mom is on top of things. I'll just chalk this one up to fate and Ryan's family's weak stomach genes. Crossing our fingers that the rest of us don't get it!
