How's this for the WORST vacation EVER!!

VhayneVhayne Member UncommonPosts: 632


My wife and I went to Disney World/Orlando in April in '08 and '09, leaving the kids at home as they were still a bit too young to do much there, and of course we needed the break.  We enjoyed every single second of our vacations.  So this year, we decided to take them along with us (ages 2, 4, and 5).


Instead of flying like usual, we decided on driving, thinking it might be better for the kids (and much cheaper), from NC.  It's about a 10 hour drive, so not too bad. 


Well, 1 day before we left, we had to get some remaining neccesities for the trip.  Our youngest son all of a sudden, pukes in the car.  We turned around and went home, and my wife called the doc.  The doctor said he just had the stomach bug that was going around, and refused to see him.  So my wife took him to the ER.  While there he was submitted to blood tests, and xrays of his stomach.  The blood tests showed no viruses, but the xrays showed he was FULL of poop.  So the ER doc gave him a few suppositories (sp), and he expelled the waste.  After that, my son seemed to be perfectly fine.  Back to his normal, happy self. 


The ER doctor said he should be fine and we were good to go on our trip the next day, as long as we kept giving him some powered laxative stuff once a day.  So we hit the road, on our way to FL.


About halfway there, our 2yo stopped eating or drinking anything.  We began to worry that he might very well be sick, or at least something was wrong. 


We finally make it to the Nickelodeon Resort at around 3am, and put all the kids to bed.  Not even half an hour later the 2yo pukes in his bed. 


The next morning, I drop my wife and 2yo off at the closest ER so he can be checked out again.  I take the other 2 kids to get some Chic-fil-a, and head back to the hotel.  We eat, and head down to the arcade (they have a ton of crap to do on the resort) to play a few games and try to make them happy. 


On our way back to the room my 4yo daughter says her stomach hurts.  We get into the room, and she pukes all over the floor.  I take her to the bathtub, clean her up, clean up the mess, and call my wife. 


My wife is starting to feel bad at this point.  So she wants to switch places with me. 


I get the kids in the car, head back to the ER and swap with my wife.  She doesn't even get out of the parking lot to the ER before disaster strikes again.  She poos all in the seat, puking out the door at the same time. 


I'm not totally sure what she did to make it back to the room, as I really dont' want to know.  It had to be awful. 


I was feeling fine and with my 2yo in the ER.  The ER doc wanted to admit him and transfer him to the main hospital 30 miles away.  So we took an ambulance there, and was given a room.


My poor wife and kids were going through hell in the hotel room, as my 5yo son also started puking and pooing everywhere.  My wife having to clean everything up the best she could, while she was feeling as bad as them. 


Meanwhile back at the hospital, our 2yo was being given tons of fluids through IV, and the poor guy had to go through an enema to further clean him out.  I spent the night there with him.  By the morning he was doing alot better, and the doc said he could  be discharged between 4 and 5.


During my wife and kids' bout with this horrible sickness she was able to call a doctor that comes to your hotel room.  He fixed them up pretty well, with medicines like phengran (sp).  The bill was around $1500!


Luckily, my wife had made a full recovery by the morning, and was feeling fine.  Unfortunately the other 2 kids were still pretty bad off.  Resorting to diapers to hold in any liquid poo, towels from the hotel room to catch any puke that was spewed, my wife wanted to switch with me because I was beginning to feel bad as well!! 


So around noon my wife and kids came and switched with me.  I took the 4yo and 5yo back to the hotel to try and get some rest.  I get there and have to battle with kids puking and pooing, all while trying to make them rest and drink fluids, and try to get some rest myself. 


Our son was finally discharged around 9pm (alot later than the 4 or 5 that was said), and he and my wife had to take a taxi back to the hotel because the 3 of us (me and other 2 kids) were in no condition to be driving again. 


The next day, I had stopped puking and pooing it seemed, and it had decreased alot for the rest of the kids.  I wanted nothing more than for our family to be at home.  So we got in the car and headed back home.


Daughter puked 3 times on our trip back home last night, and is in bed resting (feeling weak) this morning.  I feel extremely weak, but my stomach seems to be settled thankfully.  Our 2 sons seem to be fine. 


 


So all in all, we spent nearly 3k preparing for the trip (laptop to continue our work, camcorder to record the first disney experience of the kids, gps to get us there and back, new clothes for all of us, etc.), about 600 for the room, couple hundred in gas, 1200 for doctor visit, no idea on hospital bills yet. 


20 hour drive round trip, thousands of dollars spent, a car full of puke and shit, couple of us still feel like crap, and nothing at all to show for any of it. 


So how's that for the worst vacation ever?! :(

    Sounds like a Shigella bacterial infection. My kids and I are dealing with it now. I have cleaned so much puke and shit the last three weeks I could just, well, puke and shit.


    The worst was last night when my 7 year old ran into the bathroom, dropped his pants to shit, but then realized he had to puke. He proceeded to puke in the bowl, but shit at the same time spraying shit all over the floor and wall. So, before I could help him, he jumped on the toilet to finish shitting, shat in the bowl and started puking all over the pile of shit on the floor and on the wall.


    It was the nastiest, most awful mess I had to clean. I was ready to burn the house down and call it a day.


    That vacation does sound horrible, especially if it was Shigella.

    Wow, that sounds horrible.  I haven't heard of Shigella, but I'm doing some reasearch now.  My wife is about to take our 2 youngest to the doc again.  I feel for ya man, as I can honestly say, I know what you're going through.

    That is a terrible vacation. It might not make you feel better right now but at least your family made it home and did didn't have to plan a funeral for one of them. No matter how bad it is, it can always be worse!


     


    I mean, you could be Jason and Jenny Cairns-Lawrence heading out on vacation.

    I don't mean to make light of your situation Dekron but I couldn't help but laugh.  I'm sorry, I just found it funny.


    As for Vhayne, it sounds to me like Norovirus.  I had it about 3 weeks ago and the symptoms you describe pretty much match what I had.  Sorry your vacation turned out to be like that.  Hopefully next time will go smoother and ... cleaner.

    No required quests! And if I decide I want to be an assassin-cartographer-dancer-pastry chef who lives only to stalk and kill interior decorators, then that's who I want to be, even if it takes me four years to max all the skills and everyone else thinks I'm freaking nuts. -Madimorga-

     Yeah, I just let out a little burst of laughter and my cubicle neighbor gave me one of those awkward weird looks.

    Wow, what a nasty virus, to lose control of your bowels like that. I've never experienced anything like that and hope I never will. My sympathies.

    I hope it will not happen to us... Disney would be one of our itenirary once when we get to U.S... poor guy.. Spend alot of money to experience "epic fail"...

  • VhayneVhayne Member UncommonPosts: 632

    Thanks for the sympathy guys.  It was easily the worst experience I've faced yet (of course not even comparable to death, permanent injury etc.). 

    However, my wife has scheduled "Attempt #2" for the end of April, and to make up for our horrible trip, we're doing the whole Disney Resort thing, so it's going to cost like twice the amount we originally intended.  Bah.  Oh well, I can see her point.  A promise is a promise, and we promised these kids we'd take them to Disney World. 

    Honestly, as of now, I'm not ready to go back.  I'm actually horrified of the place (town) now.  I pray that I'll be over it by the time we have to leave again. 

    It did something to me, being sick with that stuff in that room, along with my suffering kids.  It's was the worst feeling of helplessness I could ever have imagined.  Add that with a nice dose of home sickness and all I wanted to do was get my family home, never to return.

    Damn, that does sound horrible although I have to admit I laughed a little when I read it.

    The worst I've ever experienced along these lines was one Christmas when I was a teenager my older sister brought her family to visit and they brought some bug with them.  All of us came down with it except my brother in law.  Seven people with puking and body aches and chills and diarrhea.  The puking was really bad.  I couldn't stop puking even when there was nothing left in my stomach and everyone else was like that too with the dry heaves.

    What I remember the most was one evening when we were all in the living room watching TV.  Seven people all moaning and feeling miserable and at least once a minute someone would puke or dry heave. 

    I also remember sitting on the toilet with a trash can between my legs and a bottle of Peptobismol in one hand.  Squirting shit and puking at the same time and in between taking swigs of the pepto.  Not a very fun Christmas.

    A few days later, after my sister and her family went home, my brother in law came down with it so bad he actually became delerious and didn't know where he was, or so my sister said.

        This story just reinforces why I wont travel to resorts or on ships. Id much prefer international diseases like Avian Flu. Sure I lost 35 pounds and puked every time I tried to breath but at least I didnt shit myself... UGHHHH! Although I almost did die of the Avian flu. 3 fracking weeks to get over that flu! Doc says I was lucky to live. 

      Not much worse then when I had Mononucleosis though. With Mono I just got weaker and weaker and the Doc couldnt figure it out. They tested my blood for weeks every few days. Turns out the disease I had was changing so quickly and mutating so radically they couldnt detect it. 6 months later after much bed rest I got a fever and it lasted for 2 weeks. I was so delerious I lost my mind and was seeing things flying around the room and speaking tounges. My mom said I was speaking hebrew lol. By then the doc said I was dying so they gave me something which made me go hypothermic. The disease died. I was fine the next day. Weird as hell! Bad part is I lost all my memories for the last 6 months. Which sucks because Id gotten A+ grades in my home schooling the school gave me. They were going to place me in advanced classes. I got a presidential award for educational excellence and then I have to tell them... I dont remember anything I learned and to top it, I have defective short term memory and long term memory. I became learning disabled... Fucking disease...

     Wow man!  I feel like an idiot whining about my experience after reading yours.  That's some serious crap you've had.  Glad you pulled through each time.

    I feel like I'm getting sick right now.

    I'm going to bed !

  • TechleoTechleo Member Posts: 1,984

      The fact you had to feel the terror of kids being sick when you cant help trumps my situation Vhayne. You and your wife deserve some kudos for being such great troopersimage That and the shitting and puking at same time... ugh, not sure why that bugs me so much lol. Glad you guys are better and going on another trip. May I recommend Hawaii next time hehe? Never been sick there before.

  • VhayneVhayne Member UncommonPosts: 632

    Hehe, maybe Hawaii in the future, when the kids are actually old enough to enjoy it, and not scare me so much.  As it is now, it's hard to not hold their hand in public sometimes. :)  But yeah, there's tons of places I want to go, and so we will eventually.

    I'm actually looking forward to the upcoming Disney trip now.  Funny how when you finally feel 100 percent, that your mind completely changes for the better.
