The difference is stark.
I got something while we were at the beach. Monday night I didn't feel quite right. Tuesday I felt awful, and spent all afternoon and evening being sick and/or sleeping. Couldn't keep anything down, and didn't even want to try. Wednesday I felt weak and wan, but could nearly manage, and even began to eat again. So, we're talking nearly 3 days of feeling off.
Owen seemed tired on Wednesday, but insisted that he felt fine. I was suspicious when I saw him lying in the grass, "just resting" while Livia and Rhyle found rocks that were just the right size for my vase. He didn't really want a snack, but then ate a few frozen berries- which he threw up on his way back into the house. After rinsing out his mouth and blowing his nose, he declared himself "fine" again and went to ride his bike. He even managed to eat some of his dinner that night! Today, he apparently is back to normal. So, he had, what, a bad HOUR? (Or afternoon, perhaps.)
So that's the difference. It takes me nearly twice as long to recover! And what to me felt awful to him was fine. =)
Now, we're praying that everyone else has been passed by.

We had a simlar bug in our house. Natalie was sick for a few days, then Jason go it and was sick for about 4 days. And then I felt sick one afternoon...took a nap, didn't really eat dinner, went to bed, woke up the next day fine. I wonder if the strain can be weakened from each person???
