Go away germs!

It's been a rough couple of days here :( Nick stayed home with Cayle last Friday. Cayle had a cough/runny nose much of last week and we decided he should stay home Friday and rest. By Monday, he was still under the weather, but not too bad, so he was going to go to the babysitter. That is, until he threw up 3 times in about an hour Monday morning. It happened to be a one-hour school delay so we had time to run him to the dr. before work on Monday. They said he must have had a stomach thing and keep him home. So, Nick stayed home with Cayle on Monday too.

Then, Monday night, Nick started complaining of a stomachache. I of course felt he had eaten too much dinner and dismissed him. Wrong. Poor guy spent the night being grossly sick. About 4 am I woke up to a thud. Turns out the thud was Nick passing out and hitting the wall. Needless to say that was the end of his "home treatment" and off we went to the ER.

Thank goodness for friends! Emily came over right away and stayed with Cayle. Then Torrey and Alana headed over and helped get Cayle fed and ready for the babysitter. Torrey took Cayle to the babysitter. How helpful they all were!

Once we got Nick some fluids and nausea meds at the hospital, he got some sleep and was discharged. Nick spent all of Tuesday sleeping and trying to catch up on his rest.

I was looking forward to relaxing Tuesday night, but Cayle showed up after work with a rash! Ugh! So I took him back to the dr. where they ruled out roseola and strep. Which left us at Cayle having a cough, stomach thing and a rash. Not very informative!

The boys both woke up on Wednesday feeling a little better. Nick made it through a whole day of work and seems to be feeling stronger. Cayle was a "little more" happier at the babysitters today...and he didn't throw up once! Pretty successful day :)

Here's to health!
