2 Weeks of Sick

It all started Sunday the 16th.  I woke up, showered, and was getting ready for church when all of sudden I felt so sick to my stomach.  I lay down in bed for about 15 minutes and then all of the sickness in my stomach wanted to be out of my stomach and out it came...for the remainder of the day.  I couldn't keep anything down, not even water.  It was horrible.  Brennen was awesome and had the kids all day and would bring Allie to me when she needed to be nursed but other than that I didn't do anything but lay in bed and spend some quality time in the bathroom.  Monday I felt better but pretty weak, Tuesday I felt pretty nauseous in the morning but by the afternoon I was feeling good.  By Wednesday I was feeling great and so happy that nobody else in my family caught the awful stomach/flu bug.  Jinx.  Wednesday night Allie got the runs and Thursday late afternoon she had a fever in the 100s.  Friday morning she still had a fever in the 100s (despite switching from Motrin to Tylenol every 3-4 hours) and decided to take her to the doctor.  Poor thing had a yucky sore throat and a red ear.  Antibiotics prescribed and I thought that would be the end of it.  Jinx again.  Saturday morning about 3:30am I wake up to Kaylee screaming and yelling for me.  I could tell she was scared from her scream and thought she had a bad dream.  She was sitting up in her bed when I got there, I took two steps in her direction and then I could smell it, the vomit, which was all over--in her hair, covered her jammies and all over her bed and blanket.  I wake Brennen up to bathe Kaylee while I clean up the mess.   I was hoping she ate something bad and she'd feel better but after the bath she threw up again and proceeded to until about 8:00am.  Brennen slept out in the front room with her watching movies while I woke up with Allie multiple times through out the night, still fevering in the 100s.  Saturday was an okay day considering we missed out on going to the BYU game with my family and Allie still fevering in the 100s but Kaylee was back to her happy self.  I thought we may finally be done with this sickness.  Jinx yet again.  Saturday night Brennen was up all night with the stomach/flu bug.  Yuck.  Sunday afternoon Allie still fevering but breaks out in a rash.  Awesome.

Rash day 2

Kaylee had this once before when she was about 15 months and I assumed Allie had the same thing BUT I took her to the doctor on Monday to make sure it wasn't a reaction to the antibiotics.  It wasn't so we continued with the meds and waited out the virus.  Monday Kaylee had woken up twice during the night, 3:30am and 7:00am to use the bathroom which is a little unusual for her.  When I took her to the bathroom at 7:00am I was so tired I was hoping if she laid in bed with me she'd fall asleep (she normally is up for the day at 7:00am) and I think she fell asleep before I had even finished washing my hands after taking her to the bathroom and then she slept until 10:00am! 

Sleeping on our second set of sheets as she had thrown up on them and our comforter a few days prior.

I couldn't believe it and thought she slept so long from her restless night.  Not so much.  All morning she seemed a bit tired but I thought it was from her sleeping in and so I sent her to play with Cami and Rian while I took Allie to the doctor.  I didn't want to risk Kaylee picking up something new from the doctor's office to bring to our house.  After Allie and I finished at the doctor I called Cami to see how things were going and she told me Kaylee had a slight fever!  Seriously!?  Ugh!  My mom dropped Kaylee off and all Kaylee wanted was her blanket, a drink, and to take a nap.  You could tell she didn't feel great so I let her watch a movie on our bed hoping she'd fall asleep and she did.  I had to do some things for the Boys and Girls Club and went since both girls were asleep.  About 45 minutes later I get a text that Allie was awake and still fevering but doing fine.  About 30 minutes after that I get another text that says Kaylee had woken up and had gone diarrhea all over our bed.  Nice.  Thankfully Monday night Allie's fever FINALLY broke, her appetite returned, and she finally started sleeping mostly through the night.   And by Wednesday her rash was gone.  Hallelujah!  Kaylee still had the runs for a few days but I'm happy to report we are all healthy.  It was a long 2 weeks but I'm happy to have those 2 weeks behind us. 

When Allie's temperature was 102.2 we gave her a lukewarm/cooler bath.  She absolutely loved it and was all smiles.  I had been missing them.  She was one sad girl for a few days.
