Mar. 10. 2009: Update on the boy’s health
Update on the boys’ health: Justin is recovering, I think. But, he’s still vomitting once to twice a day. His bowel movements are better…no diarrhia (sorry if TMI). This may be due to a stomach bug, according to his pediatrician. Nathan, on the other hand, no doubt has a stomach bug, poor thing. He’s been complaining of an ‘owie tummy’ since 2 days ago, and today he started vomitting. He also can’t eat or drink anything, poor thing! He’s been on the couch sleeping in between his vomitting since he got home from school. Boo hoo.
The hard part is trying to keep Justin from getting infected. Justin is everywhere, now. He’s getting pretty good at his combat crawling (using both arms, I might add), and is more efficient in getting from one place to the next. His favorite thing to do nowadays is picking teeny tiny stuff off the floor and putting it in his mouth…um, germs. His second most favorite thing to do is slide open and close the pantry door to inspect the inside contents, then pulling it all out…on the kitchen floor where there is a lot of foot traffic. The days of plopping him in one spot to play is over! He loves rolling and combat crawling all over the floors and getting into things. Every mother’s dream and nightmare at the same time!
I went on a disinfecting spree, today, and am trying to contain Nathan to one area, the couch. I usually establish a quarantine area, his room, but he refused to move from the couch. And, he looked so sad and sick, so I didn’t force him. Tomorrow may be a different story.

Oh no!! I’m so sorry to hear about the sick little boys. That’s no fun for them or for Mama!
I just love hearing how Justin is getting around. I love it! Let’s see some combat crawling video!
We’ll say some healing prayers for you guys. Poor boys…sending them lots of hugs. xoxoxo
