This week was filled with a lot of diarrhea and puke. My poor babies had a nasty stomach bug. Jacek had been throwing up only at night for 7 days. I took him to see our favorite doc: Dr. DuBois. He assured me that it was just a stomach bug and that Luna would be next. Jacek had already been sick for 6 days so I was pretty sure that Luna was in the clear. Well, she was not! The first night that Jacek did not throw up, Luna did. It's so hard to watch your child vomit so hard they start gagging. Jacek had violent bouts of vomiting and Luna had violent bouts of diarrhea. Luna healed much faster than Jacek. She was only sick for 2 days. I knew something was coming but I had thought once they started preschool that they would get some sort of virus. I'm hoping that this is it for them. They need to heal. It's been 10 days of straight sickness in my house and I am throwing in the towel. Waving the white flag. Oh, and disinfecting everything possible. I've done enough laundry to last us into the next month. The good news is we are on the up swing. We can get back to our normal routine of fun.
There is something about a sick baby that bonds mother and child. I feel closer to both Jacek and Luna after this past week. It's been a tough week but we made it out together. We always will. Those babies are my world and I would have gladly taken 10 days worth of vomiting and diarrhea so they wouldn't have had to endure that sickness. But, I know it's good for their immune system and their little bodies are doing what they are suppose to be doing.
I will end this blog with this picture of Jacek. Even in sickness, he's still trying to make me laugh.
*Jacek's favorite new show this week: Wipeout! We laughed pretty hard watching the same 2 episodes over and over.
*Luna's favorite show: Barney (sigh) That's all she wants to watch at all times. I was hoping it was a small phase but it has become a huge obsession. What is it about that dinosaur?
