Again!?!?

Yes our family just got over some pretty icky respiratory stuff. Jason is still battling the ends of his a little. But this morning when I went to get the boys out of their beds, Dalton told me he'd thrown up on his pillow. Sure 'nuff. But I thought maybe it was a fluke...our kids are pukers after all.

However, I came home from dropping Easton off at school and Jason and Dalton were in the bathroom cleaning Diddles up after another round. :( Lucky me got to clean up the floor where it happened. And then I gave him a bath:

After he got some fresh jammies, I tucked him in on the couch with some "Duck Tales" per his request:

He had a few more rounds of heaving but nothing came up. In the bath he did it and when nothing came up he said, "Ta Da!" Ha ha! And he had some more on the couch later on where he called out, "Mom! Help me!" :(

He pretty much stayed on the couch until it was time to go get Easton from school. I left D in his p.j.'s with no shoes and asked Tabor's dad if he wouldn't mind keeping an eye on Autumn and Dalton in the car while I ran in to retrieve Easton. Dalton cried and yelled because he said he really wanted to go in but Ryan chatted with him through the window and got him to stop crying for the minute I was inside.

A little after we got home again Dalton wandered into the kitchen saying, "I'm getting hungry" so I gave him some dry toast and, like, an ounce of diluted juice. He held it down and said he was still hungry so after awhile I gave him a little more of the same. That stayed down as well so I let him eat the cereal bar he was begging for. So far so good. I'm just worried it might be like his last tummy bug (Christmas break of last year) when he puked a couple of times or so every day for nearly a week. And one of my worst fears is that all 3 will get it at the same time...or even worse, Jason and/or I too!

But for now, we'll focus on some happier times from yesterday:

Poor, poor Dalton. :( I'm glad he got a day of rest and you got help with E's pick-up...but it's just so stinkin sad when they're sick like that.

On a happier note, that slide looks awesome! Where did you get your mat (in case we end up with a house with stairs in the future)? Adam watched the video and instantly asked, "Just how far away does Easton live and will he still have that whenever we get to go visit???" :)

Sorry Dalton is not feeling good again. I hope everyone else can stay healthy or continue on their way to healthy.

How cool is that with the slide. Your kids are going to have the most fabulous memories (if they take after their momma) of their childhood. You guys rock!
