Sickness

Sickness has been running through our house. Jerrod was sick at Christmas time with a bad cold and sore throat.

Then Julia woke up about 11pm Friday night crying. Went in to check on her and she had vomited. She ended up with several baths that night, her crib was stripped so many times that I ran out of clean sheets to put on it. We were up a good chunk of the night. As soon as we thought she was feeling better and put her back to bed, she would vomit again. Jerrod was in charge of cleaning Julia up and I was in charge of cleaning everything else and keeping the laundry going. Poor Julia; her Blankie, Elmo, baby, etc.. all ended up in the wash and she had to make due with just a receiving blanket. Luckily, she understood that they got "puked" on and needed washed. By Saturday night she was getting dehydrated, but still could not keep anything down. Luckily, by Sunday evening, she was doing better and was keeping down the water we were giving her. By Monday morning she was good as new.

Then I started feeling bad on Saturday. Mine was mainly sore throat and achy all over. But it hurt to eat or drink and it would only upset my tummy, so I was starting to get pretty dehydrated too. I finally went to the dr. today to make sure it was not strep throat again. Nope, just a bad virus. They did give me something to settle my stomach so I can drink plenty of fluids again.
