Sunday, Feb 3rd: Katie throws up a little bit in bed at 5:30am… we don’t think much of it, because she has a slight gag reflex when she coughs… no big deal… we meet Grandma Nau & William at Taco Cabana… as soon as we get our food (and after Katie drinks her entire thing of OJ) Katie pukes everywhere… after nap, Katie throws up again. At this point we know we’re going to have to keep her home on Monday.
Monday, Feb 4th: Chris’s Grandma Errett passes away. Chris stays home with Katie. Chris contracts pink eye (which William on Friday/Saturday).
Tuesday, Feb 5th: Shannon wakes up at 3am puking… this happens every 15-30 minutes for roughly 8 hours. Chris went to work, kids went to school, Shannon stayed home (duh). That night Katie starts with green diarrhea (sorry for the details).
Wednesday, Feb 6th: Chris flies to Ohio very early in the morning. Shannon’s mom comes over to help take care of her and the kids, because at this point William’s pink eye returns and Shannon & Katie have pretty bad diarrhea.
Thursday, Feb 7th: Shannon’s mom takes care of Shannon, William & Katie again.
Friday, Feb 8th: William returns to school. Shannon returns to work. Grandma still watching Katie who can’t seem to kick the diarrhea. Around noon Grandma starts throwing up.
Saturday, Feb 9th: Everyone seems to be recovering. Chris comes home late that afternoon.
Sunday, Feb 10th: Katie throws up at 7am. Grandma comes over to watch Katie while Chris & Shannon take William to his birthday party. (Thank goodness William didn’t get the stomach flu).
Monday, Feb 11th: William’s 5th birthday (more on that in another post to come). Everyone at work & school.
Tuesday, Feb 12th: Everyone at work & school. 4:15 call from school Katie had diarrhea and puked in class.
Wednesday, Feb 13th: Katie to doctor. She has actually managed to gain 13 oz in the 10 days of stomach flu. She’s well hydrated, so that’s good. She just needs to build up the good bacteria in her system… eat active culture yogurt and fatty foods. Chris stays home with Katie.
We’re ready for this stuff to be OVER!!!
Update: Right after I posted this, the montessori school called. I took William to the Doctor. He’s got strep throat. Sigh…
Thursday, Feb 14th: Shannon stays home with William… poor kid misses his school Valentine’s Party.
