Luckily for you, there are no pictures of this blog entry. Recipe for a really fun weekend:
- Thursday at work, get call from day care that baby is sick with stomach ailment and fever. Go get baby.
- Baby in a terrible mood all evening Thursday but goes to sleep at normal time and sleeps all night.
- Baby still has stomach ailment, fever and bad mood on Friday morning. Since Todd has a very busy day on Friday, stay at home Friday from work tending to sick baby.
- At lunchtime Friday, notice baby has terrible pimply red rash all over face and neck. A little while after that, it spreads to stomach and back.
- Call doctor. Doctor works you in late Friday afternoon.
- Visit baby's doctor. Diagnosis is stomach virus. (Doc says rash is also related to the virus.) No medicine given.
- In the car on the way home, feel terribly ill. Realize upon arriving home that you have stomach virus and fever too. Nutrients exit digestive system.
- Put baby to bed at 7 p.m. Friday. Retire to bed yourself, to the extent you can.
- After eating dinner alone in the kitchen, Todd comes into the bedroom and mentions, 'I don't feel so good myself.' He has fever. Nutrients exit digestive system.
- Realize all hell has broken loose. Call mother at 7 am Saturday morning and beg her to come to town to help with baby. She agrees, God bless her.
- At 8 am Saturday, drag oneself to Walgreens to get Sprite, Gatorade, and disposable latex gloves for Mama Lyn to use in changing diapers so maybe she won't get the virus.
- Sleep all day Saturday - while Mama Lyn takes care of baby.
- Sleep all night Saturday - while Mama Lyn takes care of baby.
- Sunday, feel a bit better and become able to function somewhat. Todd does not. Todd sleeps all day Sunday. (This is a man who won't even take an asprin because he doesn't like medicines. He actually asked me Saturday where I kept the Advil.)
- Blog on Sunday night. If baby still has stomach ailment tomorrow, she won't be able to go to 'school.' Cross fingers that baby and husband improve.

Oh my goodness - how awful! I hope everyone feels much better very soon. :-(
I feel your pain! We went through that except Landry didn't get sick and we didn't have a Mama Lyn!! It's tough taking care of a baby while you're sick. Hope all is better tomorrow! r
