Update on the sickies

Well, after a visit to the doctor (the day after the virus hit), a call to Children's (the night she refused to drink and hadn't had a wet diaper in 10 hours), and a visit to urgent care (the day she refused to drink and hadn't had a wet diaper in 15 hours), I think we might be on the mend! Molly is down a pound, which doesn't sound like much but that is like a toothpick being down a pound. She is starting to drink again and is picking at food. She is also sleeping a lot, still recovering. It seems that Scotty and Jack have managed to stay in the clear, although I can't say the same for my poor mom!!! She got this dreaded virus yesterday and is so sick! I feel so bad, especially since she got it while helping us! Ugh! If you read my sister-in-laws blog (linked on mine) then you may have seen her most recent post about playing "What's that Smell?" Having a 2 year old with a stomach virus has given us lots of opportunities to play that game! She has made "deposits" in some shape or form in my car, on the sofa, on the living room floor, in her bed, in the bathtub, etc. I have done about 10 loads of laundry since Wed. It's been a real treat. I'm off to the doctor's again tomorrow with Jack. He has had a cold for almost 3 weeks, and it has picked up steam to a nasty little cough and he has almost lost his little voice. The least they could do is give me my own parking space there. I think I've paid for it!
