Tough Week!

Last week was a tough week around our house. We were all sick with the stomach flu at various times. First Shaun threw up Saturday morning. I didn’t think too much of it because he was acting normal and eating fine for the rest of the day. So, then we went to my Grandma’s 90th birthday party that evening. We had a great time there, but little did we know, we may have passed the bug around! :( Then, Sunday mid day I started not feeling well. I quickly went down hill and pretty much just laid on the couch while Shaun played until Bill got home that evening (it was his reserve weekend). I felt absolutely awful when I went to bed, but then I felt somewhat better when I woke up. I stayed home from work on Monday because I definitely was not normal and pretty weak from lack of food. By Tuesday I was ready to go back to work after taking it easy for a couple of hours in the morning.

Tuesday, Bill started getting a queasy stomach, and by the time I got home from work he was in bed and looking awful. He was down most of Tuesday, but on Wednesday he was up and about again. He wasn’t totally his normal self, but much better. During all of this time, Shaun was feeling pretty well, just with some diarrhea issues and not his full appetite back. It was our first experience dealing with diarrhea with a baby/toddler and it really brought us to another level of parenting! I won’t go into any more detail than that!!! I’m sure all you parents know what I’m talking about! We stalked up on Pedialite, and various foods that the nurse suggested to help, but it just had to take it’s course.

The 3 of us are better now and glad to be!

I was also thinking of going to get Shaun’s first haircut soon at a neat kid haircut place that one of Shaun’s buddies, Kirin has been to twice already. However, Kirin’s mom informed us earlier in the week that he contracted lice from somewhere and suspects in might be that hair salon. The only other places it could be from she said were our play group and baby class, and no one else has it. So, I think we will be picking another hair place!! To make matters worse for Kirin, he had to get his head shaved because that is the only way to get rid of lice on a child under 2. This is a little guy that was born with a full, and I mean full head of thick hair and has already had 2 hair cuts. I’m sure he looks a lot different! Lice are something that I hope we can avoid now, and in the future!

On another note, Shaun is getting 2 molars, one on each side on the bottom! I don’t know if they helped contribute to his feeling off last week or not, but he now has 10 teeth! He has been extremely cranky the last few days. I can’t wait until teething is over for good!
