Sick of it...

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...

Itchy little boy!

Gavin has been sick for approximately 5 days now. He started with a fever (103 degrees) on Saturday and it finally went away last night. The only problem now is that he has a rash all over his whole body. Poor little fart! He has been scratching his head like crazy and just looks miserable. Luckily, he looks a lot worse than he actually feels. He is now making noise again and scooting around as usual so I hope that we are on the tail end of this. YAY!

These pictures don't do the rash any justice. You can't see it, but trust me it is EVERYWHERE!
