Sick of Sickness!

I feel like we’ve been on some bad rollercoaster the last 2 WEEKS! Ethan first got sick on the 15th and the most that all 3 kids were healthy since then was a little over 2 days straight. We keep thinking the stomach thing is all gone and have 1-2 days that the kids seem totally healthy and then the shit hits the floor (literally) and the vomiting always happens in the middle of the night or very early morning. Our kids never used to get stomach things but I can’t say that anymore and I also fear this is no regular stomach bug. We were at the hospital lab about 2 hours yesterday (thanks to the pediatrician’s office forgetting to fax the testing forms and then closing for lunch) and they did blood work on all 3 of them and we were able to get stool samples from 2 of the kids that we toke with us for testing. Of course yesterday was a seemingly healthy day but Monday Ben had the d-word over 10 times and threw up 6 times. I am heading off to preschool today because its their last day and I am so neverous that this thing will come back while we are there. Luckily I’ll be there the whole time since its Jamie’s toddler class today too but there is no way I’d be chancing going if it weren’t the last day. Hopefully I’ll be able to write an update soon that their tests were normal and they are over this but I’m not really feeling that will be the case.

*Update: Blood work was good for all 3 kids! Still waiting on the stool sample results but our pediatrician thinks its going to just be a virus the kids have, she said she has other patients with it lasting a week. We’re well over a week but the kids could be passing it around I guess. They must just be worn down because John and I have managed to stay healthy all this time. Luckily Ethan is symptom free for 2 days now and maybe its ending? Jamie did throw up today but she was the last to get it.
