Poopin' and Pukin'

The title of this blog is gross, but oh so true.  For the past 6 days the Ivester household has been full of poop and puke.  On Thursday afternoon I went in to get Cadence from her nap and she had thrown up all over her crib and all over herself.  She was absolutely pitiful.  She had never thrown up prior to this so she was really confused about it all.  For the rest of the afternoon and evening she threw up and had diarrhea.  We called the doc and he called her in some Zofran-which was a lifesaver.  On Friday morning I took her to the doctor and he told me that she had a really bad case of a GI bug that was going around.  So, all we could do was wait it out, give her plenty of fluids and love her up. 

Saturday, I woke up feeling not so well.  It (meaning what is in the title of this blog) did not hit until 3:15 pm.  I then knew this was a horribly contagious bug.  Matt took on the role as mom/dad and I stayed in the bed all day and night (he slept in the guest bedroom).  Meanwhile, Cadence still was throwing up and having diarrhea. 

Sunday morning I woke up to a text from Matt saying he wasn't feeling so well.  Oh goodness here we go!!!  I went to get him some meds, but before I went downstairs I went to get Cady out of her bed b/c she was crying.  I walked in and she had thrown up all over her crib and had diarrhea all over herself.  I then proceeded to cry.  I was worn slap out, still felt horrible and sick and now I had a husband to care for and a baby who still needed me.  What did I do?  I called my sweet mommy.  I definitely hesitated b/c I didn't want to get her sick, but I had no other options.  So, sweet mommy came over (she was watching Brie for the weekend and daddy was at church, so sweet Aunt Jane went over to mom's to keep Brie). 

My awesome mommy stayed alllll day Sunday and cared for us, not worrying about herself any.  Monday, I woke up feeling better but still really tired and not 100%.  Matt still had a fever and felt horrible.  Cady still was sick to her stomach (both ways) and running a fever.  Mom came over again to help out some since I was still sick feeling.

Today, Matt and I are feeling almost 100% (still tired), but Cadybug still has a fever.  She has not thrown up or had diarrhea any today and I am praying we go to bed with her being free from that today.  I can't believe she has been sick for 6 days straight with this awful bug.  And poor mommy...I called her today and she is now poopin' and pukin'.  I'm telling you, if this bug were a person I would literally grab it by the neck, choke it and kill it.  It has hurt my family so much and I am MAD!  I am praying mommy feels better SOON and that my Cadybug gets better soon.  Watching her be this sick has absolutely broken my heart.
