Week Long Bug...

We've had our fair share of colds, infections, and bugs.  But I have to say this week's bug has moved in to the top 2 of the worst that we've had to experience as parents. 

The "stomach bug" has been going around town with a vengeance.  I had a version of it a couple of weeks ago, and on Monday, Jared and Davis got their turn.  Jared was able to get over the virus pretty quickly, feeling much better on Tuesday.  But Davis, well, it's Friday and we're still not back to healthy.

After 48 hours of vomiting, we narrowly missed a hospital admission for the little man twice.  Praise the Lord for Zophran (an awesome medicine to control vomiting) and a syringe full of Pedialyte at a time (trivia, 6 tsp = 1 oz)!  From Monday morning to Wednesday night, Davis could/would not take a single step nor a single word.  While I knew we were on top of dehydration levels and nothing was life threatening, it was absolutely heartbreaking to see our active little boy want nothing else but be lifelessly curled in my arms for such a long time. 

We have his smile and chatter back and are working up to the normal "running" and should be able to go back into the world on Sunday.  Episodes like this week make me so thankful for the good health Davis does have and that we only have to experience these times in small intervals.  My heart goes to our friends that experience this on a regular basis.

So sad to miss tomorrow's festivities...  Miss you girls!!! 

Here's to next week being full of chasing around a little guy (and getting out of the house!)!
