. . . and then he popped a tooth

This week has been a little crazy at our house. About a week and a half ago pretty much our whole coop group was exposed to a yucky stomach bug. Little man got it and couldn't keep anything down (for about 5 days). Then my hubby got it. Somehow I avoided it (so far). Hubby (and everyone else's) only lasted for about a day or so. But little man's kept dragging on. So, we ended up at the doctor's and he sent us to the outpatient pedi care at a local hospital to pump him full of fluids. Fortunately he fell asleep for about an hour of the two hour treatment. He is feeling much better but he is now dealing with diarrhea (which happens every morning right around 6 am!) He is still not too interested in drinking ANYTHING - which is frustrating. Yesterday as I was hanging out with the boy I noticed an extra white spot in his mouth. Apparently in the midst of all of this one tooth busted through and another seems to be working on it. So now he is up to almost six teeth. It has been quite a week.

I hope everyone is feeling better! It was a year ago Tabitha had a similar bug and she couldn't keep anything down for 10 days! It was awful, We ended up at the ER for 7 hours because she was vomiting blood. Scary times. No one else in the house got, thank goodness! Take care and have fun trick-or-treating.
