Two weeks ago our house was hit with the FLU! Yet another reason why my blogging has been terrible. One Tuesday night I put Will to bed and within minutes I hear him throwing up in his crib. HUGE MESS! Poor baby did not stop for 3 days. I have never been so tired in my life. My mom and mother-in-law were a great help but it was still hard. As soon as Will stopped Zachary & Kevin were infected with the flu bug and yucky symptoms. I knew there was absolutely no way that I was going to avoid it. I was just waiting for my turn. Yep, sure enough by Saturday I was sick.
It took 1 week, 100 laundry tablets, lots of toliet paper, 5 boxs of klennex, 2 bottles of carpet cleaner, 2 lysol cans and 20 rolls paper towels for the flu to exit our house. The week after I was playing catch up and my boys were eating me out of the house. Their appetites returned and was in full force.
Poor Baby Will was miserable!
The one good thing was that Will was VERY thirsty the entire time. He just kept drinking water. He would throw it up but the doctors told us it was a very good thing he kept drinking because most baby's end up in the hospital with IV fluids. He loved his water like I love chocolate.
This picture was taken one morning at 6am. It was day 3 and I had not bathed, slept, or changed my clothes in 48 hours. I love the diet coke can in the background. It was like manna from heaven to me.
Little man was so sick that I constantly were changing out the comforters that I used in college and Will's pjs. My washer and dryer were going non-stop, round the clock for 4 solid days. So thankful for those appliances.
This was the first time the little man ate food in 3.5 day. Not sure if you can see it but he has a noodle on his eyebrow. He was so excited to sit at the table and eat.
So thankful that we avoided the hospital and that my family is all better.
