LAST (WO)MAN STANDING
It's been an interesting couple days. Scot got sick about 4am on Sat. and has been trying to recover since then. At first, we thought he had food poisoning - but it just never ended (and is still in the final stages)...but yesterday Ethan started throwing up too. It all started for Ethan around 12:45 while he was napping. Needless to say, he didn't get a very long nap before we had to pull him from his crib and strip down all the bedding (bumper pads and all). He was fine for a while after that, but then around dinner - he threw up ON ME multiple times. I would have just enough time to clean up & get changed before Scot would hand him back to me & then we would repeat the same situation over and over again. I don't love being barfed on (which goes without saying), but I never really thought much about it because I was so worried about Ethan. After 4 or 5 bouts with his illness last night, he had a priesthood blessing & was able to keep down some Pedialite, Gatorade & water during the night, only waking up 5 times. / : He kicked off the day throwing up on me again at about 7:30am, but since then - he has seemed fine. He doesn't have much of an appetite for anything but liquids, which is fine for now - but hopefully he doesn't have the 4-5 day version that Scot has been trying to fight off. I'm praying that I don't get whatever it is...that's the last thing I need.

oh kris, that sounds more than awful. looks like you're getting your full dosage of parent-initiation even BEFORE your second child. yuck. we'll pray that the sickness in your house doesn't spread any more!
that really stinks. Poor Scot and Ethan. I am glad that you haven't gotten it. I hate throwing up, but I am sure I wouldn't enjoy being thrown up on either. I will send the good health fairy your way, right now!
