When everybody get sick

I've never been through such an 'experience' like this before, along my journey as a mom for 3 kids. Three of them were sick together at the same time! Actually it was not a 'bad' disease, just common flu, but this time all of them get fever, bad cough and nauseous. Really terrible.. especially when I haven't had hubby around with us.

The long of their absences from school were variate, the oldest had 3 days, the middle just 1 day and the little one 2 days.
There was one day when they're together at home. All I heard from them:
"Ma, I get terrible dizzy" (while crying),
"Ma, I had thrown up at the bed"(this is the most I hate it, clean up the mess after),
"Ma, I can't breath"(this is not a real "can't breath", just because he got asthma too so he couldn't breath comfortably).
I almost just couldn't stand to hear all that together in the same minutes.

Well, after all .. when this would be happen again, I know what I have to do, in a better way...
I remember one nice quote about health, " We only really know and understand about health if we ever get sick". That's true!
