The Treadway's

Hey Everybody!
I hope you've all had a wonderful Christmas with your families. I was hoping for a little more snow than we had but didn't get it. Our Christmas did not go as planned, however. We were supposed to go to Paul's mom and dad's for the first part of the day then head up on Backus. When I woke up I wasn't feeling very well and then by the time we got to his mom and dad's I started throwing up around 10:00. It hit me like a semi. I told him he could just bring me home and I was going to rest while he went back to his mom and dad's. I thought my new medicine had made me sick. But by the time we got to Loops road and had pulled over 5 times I told him to call an ambulance. I've never been so sick in my life, not even with kidney stones! I really thought I was going to die. Paul drove me back down the hill to Rainelle Medical Center but nobody was there so he called the ambulance and they were dispatched from Quinwood. When they arrived I was on my hands and knees in the parking lot and could barely stand up. Mom and Dad came to the hospital to help out and I'm sure glad they did. I don't think Paul could have helped me all alone. I can say that the nurses and doctor that took care of me sure were amazing! When I got to the hospital they were ready, and there were 5 angels, uh nurses, in my room! They gave me some pretty good stuff too. I think it was 3 separate (heavy) doses for nausea and then something for pain as well. The EMT that rode with me was also wonderful. The doc said it was just a stomach bug and they had a lot of people coming in with it but nobody in worse shape than I was. I slept all evening and Mom took my laundry home yesterday. She came back this morning to help me clean up the house a little and brought my laundray back. My stomack isn't hurting but I sure am weak. I think I puked for 3 hours straight. Merry Christmas, right? Mom said that my Grandpa Charlie and my cousin Jessie also got sick yesterday. I wouldn't wish that on anybody!
