I don't see any problem with the letter. There was nothing distasteful or off-color about it. Sometimes a stressful situation needs a little humor, not only for yourself but for the kids too. It let's them know that if Daddy's still laughing, it can't be that bad. Anyone who would have a problem with it takes themselves way too seriously.

It sounds like you escaped getting it too. Good for you. My daughter got some kind of stomach flu last year and it ripped through the entire family. Grandma and Grandpa too and they only saw her for a little bit when she was sick. From what I've heard from other parents at her pre-school, it was a pretty common story. Now, if anything is wrong with her stomach, I treat her like a bio-hazard. Yellow hazmat suit and all Just kidding. See? there's that humor that comes from a bad situation.
