Lauri (and Bree & Louise for that matter) - hugs to you all. What a difficult time it sounds like you are all having. I wish there was something I could do to make it better.

I think Diane had an excellent point that eating on plan is ultimately going to make this tough time easier than if you have to deal with your family's illnesses and eating poorly. If you can find any other way to deal with the stress, walks, baths, reading, massage, sleep, anything other than high carb food, I think it will be helpful.

Hope things start to sort themselves out quickly.... and everyone feels better soon.
