From the Infirmary

WOW! The stomach bug has entered our house with a vengeance. It started on Thursday, with Ellie. My dad coaches the middle school girl basketball team at Dan's school, so since Madison had her pre-kindergarten test we thought we would stay and watch them play. Just as the end of game buzzard sounded I felt something wet on my hand and the next thing I know Ellie puked everywhere. All down the front of my shirt, all down my pants, all over our coats, and all over the bleachers. IT was disgusting (the smell alone cleared out the bleachers). We had no choice but to ride home in puke. I put her in the bathtub immediately and no knowing Madison gets in the tub with her. Well she then proceeds to puke in the tub. So, the poor baby doesn't eat for the next 4 days, and has diarrhea.

Fast forward to Sunday I woke up at 4am feeling a little nauseous. I went back to sleep not thinking much of it. Then about 8 I woke up feeling really nauseous, and decided not to go to church. About that time in walks Madison and pukes in the middle of the floor. We stay home and around lunch time I started puking. Dan took Ellie and went to an anniversary lunch for his grandparents, and got home around 2. About 3 he started puking. So everyone in the house has had it.

We are slowly getting back to normal. None of us have eaten since Saturday night. We are starting to feel better, we just don't have much of an appetite. Hopefully this will be the end of a very long sick season for us.

Come on Spring!

I am loving this weather we are having. After 2 weeks of freezing temperatures we have had a wonderful week of awesome weather. Today it was 60 degrees and sunny, and we had nothing to do, so of course we spent the day outside. We went to the Science Center and then went to eat lunch and then got to play outside.

Ellie had been struggling with ear infections for the last 4-6 weeks, and I feel so sorry for her she has been on 3 antibiotics. Well, today we went back to the doctor and her ears are clear. She does have all 4 molars coming in, so the doc said she would be in a little pain. So we are dosing her up on Motrin for a while to keep her comfortable.

It is hard to believe my baby will be in Kindergarten in the fall. We filled out her application to go to school with daddy, now if we can just come up with the money. She goes on Thursday for her preK testing. Hopefully everyone will stay well and we can enjoy this week of beautiful weather.
