time...

These past few days have been quite the experience for all of us! It all started out on Saturday night with the littlest of the bunch heaving up her dinner. It did not get any better by Sunday night. It went from puking to pooping & trust me, I was not happy that they were being regular! LOL! All I can say is, YUK! I've changed more cribs, washed more clothes & gave MANY a bath in the past few days! It has not been much fun! I thought it was an isolated incident but then it moved from child to child. So far, knock on wood, Camryn has not caught the bug! We were awoken rather EARLY this morning by Linz having yet another poopy diaper which then gave her a raw butt! It is terrible! No ointment or cream seems to help her! However once she was changed she was raring to go. You would not have thought she was even sick. Mommy was TIRED & she was bright eyed & bushy tailed! She then wanted each of her siblings to be WIDE awake with her. Oh what FUN! The rest of them FINALLY woke up 2 hours later. Brendan was sitting at the end of his crib and at the other end was vomit! He also had a cough that I did not like the sound of. He was the next victim! DISGUSTING! Remember, I do not do vomit! I'm the poop girl! Where was Michael when I needed him the most!?! There I was trying to clean him up & get the sheets off his crib. Then Avery has a blow out & I had to take care of her. I had the washer going, the bath running & LUCKILY we were at Grandma's so she kept Linz entertained. Throughout all of this Camryn just sat in her crib watching me & continued to say "Mommy, Oh My!". Wonder where she gets that from! hahah! I decided I better take Brendan & Linz in to see the doctor. FYI, Being able to get 4 sick kid appt's all together is difficult so to get 2 seen was better than none. Grandma & I made the drive 45 minutes N to their doctor. We got there just when our appt. was to start. That never really matters because lately we always seem to have to wait, FOREVER! I SO dislike waiting in a doctor's office lobby with four toddlers. Today was extra bad since they all had poopies while we waited. This is my life! ugh! We finally get in to see Dr. Kraft. He really is a great doctor. Helps me not freak out over silly stuff. He told us he's not too worried about the weight they lost from throwing up. They will gain it back. That their ears, eyes & chest all sound good. Brendan is extra lean & that is why it I overreact when it comes to him. He is NOT dehydrated & he will be ok. To rinse Linz's bum instead of using wipes & to put 4 oz of white vinegar into the bath water. The vinegar will help dry her raw bum up! (interesting..) That we need not worry about getting them to eat but rather make sure they drink & have at least 2 pee pee diapers a day. If things change to let them know, it is hopefully just a bug & the best medicine is...
