Stomach Buggy

So the last couple days have been hard on all five of us in our home. Some how we brought in a very unwelcome stomach flu bug, not sure where,when or how it made it's way into our home but we know for sure it can leave at any moment.

First on Sunday, Mariah woke up and started with it by vomiting for about 2 hours straight. After a few hours she seemed fine so I thought nothing of it anymore as I figured it was just from the allergies and phlegm that was sticking around from it.

Then Monday afternoon I had went and got the kids and I some happy hour drinks and snacks from Sonic. About an hour later there I was with a horrible pain in my stomach, thinking it was food poisoning but yet I was the only with it, weird. After a few hours I to was finding myself making quick trips to the bathroom (flashbacks of pregnancy). Once mine started to subside then my 7yo son Isaiah got up and was making a trip to the bathroom...then a couple hours later my 10yo son Noah was too.. It was like out of some really horrible movie or nightmare.

So  yesterday both boys stayed home from school to get better and over this flu bug. Noah was better by mid day as well as I but poor Isaiah took till mid afternoon today to finally start feeling better.

But now my husband has been hit by the nasty bug.. Hopefully once he is over it, we can say goodbyes to it because you are NO longer needed or even wanted in these parts.

Hopefully we can enjoy the summer with no sickness after this because we have suffered enough with allergies and now this bug already..

Hey Sickness BE gone

Well it first started with Noah and his congested,runny nose, and that lingering cough. Then Isaiah got it. At this point we are thinking allergies with everything in bloom full force. Then Mariah wakes up one morning with eye boogers,watery eyes and crust shutting her eye together. I took her to the doctor 4.12. The doctor said it was a blocked tear duct which is very common in babies.

So we went home with orders to wipe eye with a warm wash cloth and massage the corner of the eye. He also said sometimes/usually there is cold symptoms with this. Mariah had none at all whats so ever. Until about Saturday..Her nose started to become a leaky facet, congestion started and then there was that icky cough. Could she have gotten the cold from the tear duct or from her brothers. Who knows really but all we know is being a baby and sick is HORRIBLE. No medicine just saline drops,baby vicks vapor rub and sucking the boogers out with the what we call nose sucker. I let her soak in the warm bath water twice a day since it makes her feel better.

Today is day 3 of it and she does seem to be getting better thankfully. I figured if she didn't get better I would take her in to the doctor right away as with babies sometimes they can develop RSV or even croup. 

Guess who else is sick now. The husband has it too. If this was allergies I highly doubt they all got hit at the same time so badly. I'm thinking we were hit with a common cold and hopefully I can mange to NOT get it.
