A Long Night

When my head hit the pillow last night I knew something wasn't quite right inside. Sure enough around midnight I awoke and knew I needed to make my way to the porcelain throne. After a long quarter hour of releasing the contents of my stomach, I spent the rest of the night on the floor in that same room. I continue to release the contents of my intestines. Not what I was hoping for.

I suspect that I caught the flu bug that Anya had last week. Needless to say I am not at church this morning.

While I wonder how long this will hang on my greater concern is dehydration and the longer lasting effects of the intestinal disruption. We'll just have to see. Last night all I could think about was how this would effect our start on Wednesday. Would we wait until Thursday? Would we shorten our trip?

We still plan to leave this afternoon for Fairview and this morning decided to stop by the University of Michigan Medical Center in Ann Arbor to show Emily where she was born. She had expressed a desire to do this and we're hoping to make that possible. We still plan to begin riding on Wednesday. We'll make adjustments to our itinerary as needed when the time gets here.

Well enough for now.
