Busch Gardens Bust

Little riders on the Lil' Clydesdales
Sesame Street character appearance




We left right after church, ate lunch on the > 1 hour ride (terrible traffic) up to the theme park, rode one ride, the train, did a little climbing, then left after Jacob threw up in line for the dragon ride. It was very crowded and I didn't expect to stay too long (no naps), but didn't expect this. It came out of nowhere. And went everywhere. We left the park immediately, made it out to the car and started home. Before we got to the highway, he got sick again in his car seat - clothing change #1. And again on the way home, clothing change #2 - no pants left at this point. I learned something. 2 year olds don't do barf bags. Finally we made it home. He was not able to keep a cup of water down, and he looks very peaked right now.
You might be wondering why I sharing all this gross info? It's because I need alot of prayer right now. And so does Jacob. Thanks for all your love and support - in the good times and bad.

You poor poor baby and mama. I am so sorry for you guys. I know it will be a tough 24 hours or so and I so hope Zachary doesn't get sick. Prayers are with you!

Yeah, me too. Zack just got though a stomach bug. i don't think jacob's is related - zack was started his illness 2 weeks ago. just found out that meredith got sick tonight too, though. he seemed to perk up just before bedtime though.

Julie, I think Jacob is having "Aunt Diane" withdrawals!!! I sure have missed our nightly bath and bedtime stories. Hope Jacob is well soon. Give both boys a hug and kiss for me. Hope your week is calm. Love you all. Di

I feel so bad for Jacob-I know that he was so excited to be going to Busch Gardens. I am sure that he was very sad that you had to leave early even if he wasn't feeling well. Give him a big hug for Nana and we will be praying that it will be a short bug and that he will be feeling lots better real soon. Love you guys-Mom/Nana

If this bug Jacob has is anything like Zack's was, I'm really sad for all of you. Hopefully, today will be a better day and you and Jacob can start planning your next visit to the roller coasters. Love you, Mom
