The stomach bug! Every stinking year we get the stomach bug! I thought that since it was March we were safe. But oh no! A big round of it came to our city and we all picked it up....AT.THE.SAME.TIME!! I thought it was going to be the end of us. CG, Jon and I literally shared a toilet at one point. Oh my gosh that's disgusting. Thankfully, HW never threw up and both kids slept a lot.
We did wake them up to see how crackers would go while snuggling and watching Frozen.
And then it gets worse. At least on my heart. HW got a cold after the stomach bug, which led to his first ear infection, which led to his first prescription. Even though he was taking the medicine, he just wasn't himself. I had that mommy feeling that something wasn't right, but I pushed it aside. WELL a week into the meds, HW woke with a small rash. That rash turned into head to toe red spots and then swelling of the face, lips, fingers! And itching, oh the itching. This momma was scared. We went to the doctor. They gave him a steroid shot. And we think it was an allergic reaction to the meds.
This picture was taken after some of the swelling had gone down. My poor baby!
Then it was 2 weeks of crying and not sleeping through the night. Knock on wood, I think we are all better now!
