Nastiness

I mentioned in the boys birthday post that Thing 1 wasn't feeling very good at their party.  That night he ended up throwing up and started running a fever on Sunday.  Sunday night it started to get really high, it was 103.8 with both Tylenol and Ibuprofen.  I was worried that we were going to have to take him to the ER.  The after hours nurse said told us that if it got higher than 104-105 that we needed to take him in.  He had a rough night Sunday night and stayed in our bed with us in just his diaper.  He started with the nasty diarreha on Sunday as well.  It took almost 2 weeks for that to go away.  I was hoping that it was just going to be him, but Thing 2 started with it on Tuesday and The Girlchick on Thursday.  Both Nathan and I had some issues as well but it wasn't the vomiting part just the other stomach issues part.  Thing 2 ended up having it a bit worse (but got over it a bit faster), he had a higher fever and eventually he ended up having to go to the ER since he had multiple occasions of blood in his stool.  They tested both boys for all sorts of bacteria and it all came back negative (of course, when would they ever have a test result come back and say they have this, or that....... that would be never).  Fast forward a few weeks and we are all finally healthy.  It took awhile for it all to work itself out of everyone's systems.  That was one nasty bug!

Poor Sleepy boy waiting to see the dr at TCH - but he was happy and so good even feeling like he did

Thing 2  sitting in the TCH ER bed eating crackers to try and get him to poop.  Which he did - on command

In the midst of all of the sickness they had a follow up appt with their ENT - They ask you at the check in desk if they have certain symptoms and since they did - they made them wear the masks of shame.
