Comin' Down With Somethin'

Feb. 27 - March 2  It all started in the early morning of Wed. the 27th when Jaxon woke up puking in our bed.  After the initial puke, he dry heaved every time after that.  Sent the girls and Dave off to school and work and stayed home with Jaxon.  He pretty much slept the whole day so I called in to say I wouldn't make it to HW Club today.  He seemed fine later that night after he woke up, so I assumed he was over it.  Then, Thursday morning at about 7, he puked really bad again.  I was getting ready to sub in the Elem. Computer Lab that day and didn't want to tell them I couldn't do it, so I asked Rylee if she could stay home from school and watch him.  She said she would so I was able to sub.  He never puked again that say, but was able to get some sleep and rest up a bit, plus spend some great bonding time with Rylee.  Later that night at about 5pm, he fell asleep on the couch and slept till 11pm!  I couldn't believe it because he's never slept that long on the couch and we were making lots of noise and everything.  I then put him into bed and we all went to sleep at that point.  Here he is, sleeping...

The next morning, at about 4am, Rylee woke up and started puking.  Kids didn't have school that day because of state ball, so we all just stayed home.  Marty Welling had to come over for awhile till her mom got home that afternoon.  I warned Sara that Rylee was sick, but she wasn't worried because her family had just gone through this.  Rylee pretty much slept all day, dealing with dry heaving the whole time...

 At about 4pm on Friday, Kyra started acting sick and ended up running to the toilet to puke.  Then, all she wanted to do was sleep.  Marty was going to stay the night, but had to call her mom and tell her Kyra was sick now, so she probably wouldn't have much fun...

 Also found out that Kaitlyn started feeling sick on Friday and she also puked that night at the hotel in Casper because she was there as a cheerleader for state bball.  Thankfully, she didn't do it at the games!! Well, by Saturday night, we were all feeling a lot better.  I was suffering from an icky stomach and diarrhea, but no pukies.  But then, at about 9:00 that night, Jaxon was complaining of an upset stomach and he was sitting on my lap at the time, when all of a sudden, he leaned over and puked brown puke all over me, the chair, and the floor.  EEEWWWW!  After that, he kept having to run to the toilet to go diarrhea.  He dry heaved for awhile, too.  He wanted to keep drinking water, but it just went right through him.  Here he is laying by the bathroom, just waiting till he had to go again.  Poor thing!!

After awhile of this, he got hungry and wanted some macaroni with butter and salt on it.  He scarfed that up pretty fast, drank more water, and ate some raisins.  I thought he might puke again, but he didn't.
Now, it's Sunday afternoon.  We all made it to church this morning, and everyone seems to be over it.  Phew!!!  I really hope it's totally over now!  It's been a long weekend!  I'm really glad I bought my steam cleaner awhile back, as it came in very handy these past few days!!!
