I thought it was believable because there is a 24-hour flu-like illness that has been slowing going through the family. Joshua was the latest victim, throwing up just yesterday but feeling fine today.

Andrew was super sick the day before Christmas with the aforementioned bug. Isaac and I gave him a blessing, and I blessed him to recover quickly, but not long after the blessing Andrew passed out in the bathroom and banged himself up a little bit before we could unlock the door and get him out. Kind of scary!

It cost $450.
