Stomach flu

Luckily we started off the new year healthy but our luck changed on the 8th. Tesshin woke up at around 1 a.m. throwing up. We had had curry for dinner that night so you could imagine what that smelled like. I changed his clothes and bedding and rocked him back to sleep. He got up an hour later and threw up again. Changed his clothes and bedding again and he went down. You guessed it, another hour later he was up throwing up. we definitely couldn't take him to daycare so I stayed home with him. I called the doctor but they said that as long as he didn't have a fever, there was no need to bring him in. By the time Tessho got home from work, I was in a skirt and a t-shirt. First thing he says "Why are you in a skirt?!?!" Well, Tesshin threw up on all 3 pairs of pajamas and all of jeans. At the rate he was going I would be in an evening gown by the time we went to bed. I took him back to daycare on Friday. Come to find out, all of the other little ones came down with the same stomach flu. She only had 2 kids that day.

Fast forward to the 18th....This was the first day Tesshin FINALLY gave us a solid poop. Daycare called on Wed. and said "Tesshin has had 6 diarrhea poops in the last hour. I think it's time to get him." So I rushed off, went through McDonalds drive thru to pick up lunch and picked up my boy. Poor kid, he was laying down on the nap mat all by himself. All of the other kids were outside playing. I ended up taking Thursday and Friday off so that gave him 5 days to recover at home.
