We have been sick at our house. And I mean SICK! It started last Monday and as of right now it hasn't stopped. Makenna woke up SUPER ornery (more than normal) and by the end of the night she wasn't eating and crying how bad her throat hurt. She started PUKING (her new favorite word) and on Tuesday she was diagnosed with tonsillitis and strep throat. Lucky her. By Thursday night, I lost my voice and still sound like some sort of drag queen (no offense to anyone that may be one), and Gavin woke up early Saturday morning throwing up, with a fever and diarrhea. Exciting huh?! He still is battling this little demon and I am so sick of cleaning up poop. I start dry heaving every time I have to change his diaper (luckily I put him back in a diaper and not his 'wears as he calls them) and Kenna asks me if I am going to puke every time (like I said before, it is her new favorite word). I can't even control it. On Sunday Brent had to do all the clean up from his throw up because I couldn't stomach the smell... not that that matters. The 'rhea is still coming strong and he has hardly eaten anything since Saturday. Poor kid. All he says is "potty" after the incident has happened because he can't even help it.
I am just wondering, where is there a handbook that says the best way to clean up poop!? When I gave birth and they sent me home with babies that I didn't know what to do with, there was no pamphlet saying how to handle exploding diapers. Maybe that is because I might have just left the kids there knowing I may have to deal with this eventually.
All of this rambling doesn't matter. I just feel bad for my little boy, and I feel bad for myself. My house reeks of this wretched scent. I hope we all get over this soon and that my biggest baby doesn't get it!!! Because Kenna, Gavs and I will all be in trouble then!
Oh, and for anyone's information... (I found this quite interesting) The doctor said that kids can lose 10% of their body weight within hours of having this bug. I took him yesterday for his two year check and he weighs the same he did six months ago so obviously he has lost a few pounds. Wouldn't that be awesome as adults to lose 10% of your body weight when you got sick!? I don't think people would worry so much about getting flu shots! :) Off to sterilize some more...

oh no!! i'm so sorry!!! all of that sounds terribly horrible! I'd see if I could help ya- but uhh, I don't wanna get sick.
Good luck with everything! Oh, and if you find that pamphlet, let me know, I'm sure I will need it any time soon!!
Wow Lynds, that sucks! My kids have had the bug but no nasty poops to clean up luckily. It was good "talking" to you the other day. Hopefully things get better for you and your family. Good Luck!!
I'll be over later to infect myself with whatever I need to lose 10% of my body weight. Good luck. I'm sorry that is so "poopy"!
I am a drag queen and I'm highly offended. Thanks a lot
Oh I can relate! The other day, Avery had the runs so bad, it exploded out of her diaper, all over the carpet her toys, her clothes and pretty much everything in sight. She was so upset. I think she thought she was going to be in trouble. I felt so bad for her! Sorry you guys are sick. That is the worst!
