    Default Frustrated with sick kids!

    All of my children were sick the week before Christmas. It was so bad that we ended up taking my 4yo to the ER because she was so dehydrated (also couldn't walk, wouldn't really talk to me) and we narrowly missed the same fate with my 6 month old. (Luckily a little tylenol kept her in the clear.) Lily still isn't over it entirely and she has a runny nose and occasional cough to prove it.

    A couple hours ago my 4 year old woke up vomiting. Since her bed was a mess, I stripped it and laid her in bed with me and sat a trash can right next to the bed so she could roll over and use it... apparently this concept is beyond the reach of a 4 year old.

    I'm hoping she just ate something disagreeable and it will pass by morning, but she's thrown up several times now so I'm thinking were in for another few days of being home bound and sick.

    I absolutely hate it when my kids are sick, and it seems lately they save all the good stuff for when my husband is gone. These are the days when I wish he were an accountant.

    I totally understand. Mine started vomiting on Christmas Eve and we finally finished up with me being sick on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Yuck!

    I'm so sorry, there's nothing worse than being cooped up and sick through the Holidays. Hoping the little one feels better soon!

    I hope they all feel better soon. It's horrible when they keep passing it back and forth.

    Glad she's better. I feel your pain. Right now, all five of us are in varying states of "Ick" as my oldest is calling it and have been since right after Christmas. I just want spring to get here.
