Dean started having the symptoms of the crud on Saturday, then was worse on Sunday so stayed home from church. Monday morning he was terrible so I took him to sick call on the base. They gave him fluids and some anti nausea meds, but no shots or anything like I got, so he was pretty miserable and slept most of the day. The PA he saw seemed to think it might be the rotavirus, which is pretty nasty all right. Hunter got it as a toddler and the manifestations we've been having (high fevers and explosive GI disturbances) are pretty much what Hunter had then. They said we likely picked up the bug from the kids - you know how they carry around germs; of course they didn't get sick.
So Dean checked his work email late afternoon. His sports medicine and orthopedic doctors had said last week he wouldn't be able to go to the pre-deployment field training in late Sept/early Oct because of his knee injury, so his commander yesterday declared him unable to be deployed later in October. Well, shucks. We're awfully disappointed around here, if you can't tell. That changes a lot of army things for us right now, which is fine.

ouch! not fun being sick! (With the only exception being the weight loss...). I hope you guys are feeling better soon!!!
I'm so excited for you. Deployments aren't any fun.
I guess being assaulted does have its perks?
Yea!!!
Sorry about the bug but glad that he doesn't have to get deployed!!
The Lord works in mysterious ways! We're excited to hear that you will have a husband home!
Hopefully Dean is feeling better by now and things are going well for all of you.
