What a past couple of days...

It seems this nasty little virus has just about gone through our entire family! I was next in line to be dealt with I guess. It hit me late Monday night, was strange how fast it was. I pretty much laid in bed yesterday morning and afternoon trying to rest up and kick this things butt. Let me say that if you ever run across this nasty little bug, make sure you keep yourself very well hydrated. I'm doing much better this morning and Landyn seems to be back to 100% baby! Now I just hope, really really hope that Hailey doesn't come down with it. It's rough for sure.

My brother sent me some links late last night about all the April Fool's stuff happening around the net. Here's a LINK to a rundown of all the jokes and whatnot that have been played out! I was running through my google reader links and saw several more. I do believe the interwebitubes loves April Fool's! All for now. FLIP!

Rotavirus!!!

Today we took Landyn to the Doctor's office because he is still a little sick. He had a bottle this morning and was a little sick afterwards... he's also sleeping a whole lot. Later today he started having some diarrhea, but just a little. His Doctor said that he has rotavirus. We're pretty sure this is what Tammy had late last week as well. Thankfully, Landyn has been inoculated against this virus so it's no where near as bad as it could be. Dr Hoyle told us that for young children this virus can put children in the hospital because they become so dehydrated. So lots of fluids for the baby, plus we had to switch his formula to soy based for the next day or so because his body is having a hard time digesting his regular milk based formula, hence the sick after bottle. I'll keep everyone posted, but he seems to be feeling better as of tonight, playing and whatnot, just a little more fussy and whiny than normal :) Till next time! Flip
