I've been couped up this past week with Koen. The doc's are thinking Rota virus. Poor kid. I was so worried I took him in twice this week. The first time to see if there was anything we could do for him. He ended up having an ear infection on top of all the other crap, so he got 2 shots of Rocephin. Poor kid, those hurt! The next day he was still looking dehydrated, every time he would drink anything, it would come right back out, liquid. really gross. I won't go into detail to spare you the gag reflux. Anyway so I took him back in and got some great news, the diarrhea may last up to 6 wks! You've got to be kidding! Not looking to the point of iv fluids yet so that's good. He's still not eating much. As of yesterday all he's had to eat all week has been 1 1/2 pieces of toast. Today he's had 1/2 piece of toast and 1/2 ham sandwich. Today seems to be the turning point for him. Only changed 1 diarrhea diaper today! compared to like 10! We are now getting somewhat wet diapers! yay!
As to the title of this post. Russ is now sick, again. Who knows what he's got, but it's really hard doing everything myself. Kudos to all you Single parents. Payton's getting jealous of all my attention to Koen. She's now saying she's sick too. I feel bad, but not much I can do right now. I try and give her any of my free time. We've been playing a lot of games, and watching a lot of movies. (I could go with out the bee movie and any harry potter for a while. Those have been koen's choices over and over!) I'm tempted to go outside and just scream. It usually helps. :)
Well off to play chutes and ladders with payt!

Wow, that sounds like fun. Sometimes I think kids sound like too much work :) Kudos to you for taking such good care of your kids.
I'm sorry Heidi, that's aweful!! We had that go through our house last winter and it was the worst! It really makes you appreciate when your family's healthy! Good luck, and don't go insane!
