Cole seems fine so we go sledding and snowmobiling - have a total blast
8:00pm leave to drive home thankfully Cole slept the whole way
9:30ish arrive home and I go to bed with a migraine
11:15 wake up to the sound of Bret throwing up
11:45 Bret starts slurring his speech, can no longer move his fingers, hands and arms, and is complaining of a "pins and needles" feeling all over his body. Slurred speech gets worse. Seems in pain and is hyperventilating severely.
call 911 because Bret seems to be having a stroke (so scary)
paramedics arrive on scene - all 11 of them
they inform me that Bret has had a severe anxiety attack but after teaching me how to handle it they say he should be fine but to take him to the doctor in the morning
massage Bret's muscles out so that he can use them again
stay up till 2:30 am cleaning up after Bret every hour - poor guy
5 am calm Cole down when he is awakened by the sound of his dad - being sick again
deal with vomit all night long - ugh
Monday
Take Bret into the doctor as soon as possible because he still can't keep even water down
Doctor tells him that he has either food poisoning or stomach flu but is leaning towards food poisoning
explains that the anxiety attack was made worse by dehydration and that caused his muscles to seize
hook him up to IV for 2 hours to rehydrate him
run errands to restock everything that is needed for stomach flu - Cole drained everything previously - Bret is till at the Dr's getting fluids
bring him home and put him to bed - after drugging him with something that would make him sleep that the dr gave us
deal with a still sick Cole and his umm, large amounts of diarrhea
spend all day washing all clothing from both boys and the vacation so we have something to wear
Cole refuses to nap - again
deep clean and sanitize house so that I don't get sick- or any other poor soul that attempts to come to my house
put Cole to bed early
drug Bret and both of us go to sleep
It was quite the weekend but we did have some fun moments. Here are some pictures from the cabin...

It certainly was "quite" the weekend! We still had so much fun and love getting the family together.
