How do you spell relief?

It has been a while for those of you who check the blog regularly. Thursday I was down and out trying to fight off the evil virus that my girls have had. Friday morning my dad and Carolyn came up to help with the girls. I did feel better on Friday, but I think part of that was knowing that relief was on the way. They have been huge help. Joey has also been trying to fight it off too. Yesterday was the first day since Sunday that Josey did not have diarrhea. I am thankful that she is feeling better. Riley has enjoyed hanging out with Papaw and Carolyn at the hotel. She has been swimming, watching movies, reading books and whatever else you can do at a hotel I am sure. She is having a good time. Joey and I spent the morning disinfecting the house. I think every surface has been bleached that can be bleached. We feel better about that too. Now maybe we are virus free.
Oh, a little update on Gus. I think he got the virus too, but he did not make it. The little mouse just did not have it in him; the virus was too much for him. We have not told Riley yet. We know that someday she will ask about him and we will explain, but it happened on Thursday and we just did not feel up to having to deal with all of that on an upset stomach.
Anyway, we have enjoyed having Dad and Carolyn here to help out, boy has it been a big help. Thanks for coming on such short notice. We truly appreciate it.
I hope that everyone else is staying healthy. I think that we are all finally back to the healthy side of life.
