7/2/2012 Giving 'sick to the stomach' its due

On Saturday night, we went to dinner at one of the chinese restaurants.  The food was not unexpectedly greasy but 'decent'.  Evan didn't like it though and ate very little.  A few hours later, Evan threw up most everything that was in his stomach.  We thought maybe the culprit was some food from lunchtime, perhaps even soymilk.  June and I felt ok for now.  The next morning, around 6 am, I woke up with sudden feeling of diarrhea and ran to the bathroom and relieved myself.  I thought that would be it, but then about 3 hours later, I woke up with not just a feeling of diarrhea but also wanting to vomit.  And before I could get myself to the bathroom, I grabbed a towel and emptied my entire stomach's contents.  It was the most rancid feeling I've ever felt, after which I totally collapsed as all of my energy was completely gone.  I could barely stand or sit up.  Evan, having vomited the night before, seemed to be feeling better but still lethargic so we tried to cajole him to sleep more with us.  He sort of did but by 11am'ish, was ready to get up.  June cooked us some porridge and both Evan and I had a bit, but I was still extremely exhausted and wanted to keep sleeping.  June was now getting a little nauseated as well.  She took Evan for a stroll to the local park while I tried to sleep a bit more.  After they came back after about half an hour, June was getting really really tired, so I started to be more active.  A few hours later, June threw up as well and remained very weak for the rest of the day.  By about 10pm, I had become a bit better and then after a fairly good night's sleep, I felt much better this morning, as did June.
