Feeling a Little Down

We haven't done much this week as the kids (mainly Jake) have been fighting bugs. Monday morning was super fun...I walked into their room and Abby had diarrhea all over her and her crib...Jake had thrown up all over everything. I immediately turned around leaving both kids in their cribs and told John to join me in the kids' room when he got out of the shower as I needed help cleaning everyone and everything off (Now that I think about it, I should have just brought one of the kids with me and given them to John to wash off!).
They had two different bugs...Abby a stomach bug which only lasted 24 hours, Jake a fever, cough/cold thing. We took him to the doctor since his fever was high and they tested for flu and strep but both came back negative. Anyway, the Motrin had been keeping the fever down and Wednesday he actually woke up without a fever so I thought he was getting better. But Thursday morning he caught Abby's stomach bug and had diarrhea everywhere and a fever back up to 101. Needless to say, we've had to postpone the milk thing. Abby actually prefers the milk, but since she got sick the day after starting, we had to take her off it and we are just now slowly getting her back on it. Jake had been on it 25%, but with his diarrhea, I've taken him off it and will start him back on it after that's gone.
Oh fun times...and who would have thought I could talk so freely about bodily fluids! Oh to be a mom.
