Being Sick

The girls ate so much candy on Easter that we wouldn't have been surprised if either of them tossed their cookies. But let me tell you, I was completely caught off guard when I checked on Spencer before going to bed that night and found him asleep in his own barf. The poor baby didn't have any treats at all, but he had hurled his entire dinner all over everything. Why does it always have to be tomato based? He woke up the next day with diarrhea too. I figured it was just a bug and he'd be better the next day. But when the vomiting and diarrhea continued into Tuesday, then I took Spencer to the doctor. The doctor said to just keep him hydrated and sent us on our way. We got back home from the doctor and Savannah started calling to me from the bathroom. She had actually thrown-up in the toilet! I didn't even know she wasn't feeling well, but I was so proud of her for running to the bathroom. We all took naps and Melanie woke up and tried to find me while I was feeding Spencer and ended up barfing on our family room floor. I guess that new carpet had to get broken in some time. Melanie ended up throwing-up 4 times in 2.5 hours. Luckily, the last 3 times were all in her barf bowl. She got over it the quickest and didn't throw-up anymore after that. Savannah and Spencer continued to take turns vomiting. I don't know how many times I washed all of Spencer's bedding. Savannah was so great to try and make it to the bathroom or use a bowl. It took a week, but we finally got over it! I knew that the girls weren't totally feeling back to themselves when I found them both passed out on the floor while watching a movie. I'm just so glad that we're all feeling better. Except Spencer now has a cold and the girls have started calling him The Snot Monster!
