It's been one of those weeks! Tuesday night, Ali woke up throwing up and diarrhea. The whole night was full of bathroom runs and laundry. She stayed home from school on Wednesday and Thursday. I have to say how lucky we are that I can be home with the kids. No pressure to get them back to school/daycare so I can work. Granted I was supposed to teach class on Wednesday, we were able to work things out. (Of course the kids get sick on the ONE day I lecture.)
Friday I woke up sick. Thankfully only sick feeling stomach and minor diarrhea. I was scheduled to be in school to be available for questions since I wasn't in on Wednesday. Well, I went anyway. Given my options--stay home and have enough energy for Ty vs. go to school and sit at a desk--I was OK with going. By the time I got home, Ty was napping and I knew Jeff would be home shortly after Ty woke up. I was going to make it through the day!
Last night around 1:00 am, I hear Ty throw up in his crib. ACK! As I was getting Ty cleaned up, he looked at me like "what the h*** just happened, what's going on here, why did that happen?" We got his crib cleaned up and put him back to bed. A while later I peeked in on him and he was awake clutching his little giraffe looking completely confused. No more incidents so far, which I'm taking as a good sign. I find very interesting how toddlers react to being sick. They're playing and minding their own business when all the sudden "blah" out comes the puke. Maybe it's lack of experience in the area of getting sick so they don't have that "pre-puke panic" that the rest of us get.
Well, just hoping the rest of this weekend pulls off withouth a hitch.
By the way, I'm down the 5 pounds I had gained over Thanksgiving/Christmas. After yesterday I'm hoping there will be a few more.
