Everyone is Sick!

Today everyone is sick - Mommy and Daddy caught your virus; even Girlie was sick yesterday. We normally go to swimming class on Saturday mornings but we could barely get out of bed. I felt achey, feverish and had a tummy ache too. Daddy also had similar symptoms - we just felt terrible!

In the morning, we thought you were starting to feel better. After giving you some Pedialyte, you asked for milk for the first time. Though I did not want to give you any milk, your dad insisted so we could reinforce you asking for things to eat/drink. You also asked for water - it was big day!

The only thing we did today was to drive to Fairway in Red Hook to buy our groceries for the week. We spent the rest of the day lounging around the apartment feeling miserable. Now we know why you were moaning a few nights ago. For lunch, since I thought you were feeling better, I fed you some scrambled eggs. I also gave you some more Pedialyte to keep you hydrated since you were sweating uncontrollably. You took a nap in the afternoon and Daddy was amazed by the sweaty ring around your head. In the evening, I tried to feed you some tofu with spinach for dinner, but you started to gag and puked all over the coffee table. Luckily I was able to move you over the sink where you threw up some more. GROSS! Next, I gave you a bath and let you run around half-naked to cool you down.

Your Daddy and I could barely move so we napped for most of the day while you wandered around the house finding things to do. Around 7pm, we heard you crying and found that slipped on your explosive poop in the kitchen floor. Now that was really GROSS. Your Daddy almost threw up by the sight and smell! I gave you another bath and then cleaned up the mess on the kitchen floor. Poor baby. Poor Daddy and poor Mommy too.
