Kiersten was sick last week, all through her birthday week with explosive diarrhea. I had 2 days where I had to change her diaper four times in 1 hour. That is one of the reason I postponed her 1st yr appt last Wed to this Friday. At her birthday party, she felt better, but was not 100%. In fact, she took a nap before most of the guest left. Finally on Monday, she was much better. Her appetite was back and her bowel movements were normal in smell and consistency. Hopefully, she didn't lose much weight.
Last Friday, Peter kept us up until 4:40am (Pete & I went to bed at 2am b/c we were setting up decorations for Kiersten's Party). He woke me up at 3 am with a tummy ache and then he finally threw up at 4:15am. Saturday...he was playing all day and most of Sunday he was fine. Monday, he slept most of the day and complained of a tummy ache and feeling nauseous. He had one of the most explosive bowel movements I have ever heard and then he felt better. Yesterday, Tuesday, he spent 3/4 of the day whining about his tummy again. I tried to get him to move around a bit in the afternoon. When we got back from Sears, he stepped into the house, took his shoes & coat off and threw up on the floor. Then he ran upstairs and had another explosive bowel movement that even surprised Pete. He went to bed early and when he woke up this morning, he was back to normal. Hungry and eager to get playing.
We always have Motrin and Tylenol at home and that helped, but luckily neither had a high fever so we didn't have to make an emergency run to the hospital. We just had to keep the kids hydrated. Peter has never liked Pedialyte, but we bought some for Kiersten and she doesn't like it either. So, now the pedialyte we have is going to waste and its not cheap. I just couldn't believe that both kids got sick, but at least they didn't get sick at the same time ( : Now we can get back to enjoying the weather outside.
