Yeah, it got worse.

I mentioned during my last post that Turner had been feeling ill. After 24 hours of him throwing up, he seemed to be doing better. Just in time for Miss Lauren to start upchucking all over the place.

And when I thought I was beginning to see the light, I was mistaken.

Turner was ill for four days. My skinny kid has lost even more weight. The fluid he has lost vs. the amount of food he's consumed in no way balances each other out. He's eaten maybe a handful worth of food in that time. It amazes me how he's even found the energy to function.

Lauren was ill for about 48 hours and seemed to have it a bit easier. Still, watching a little one get sick like that is heartbreaking. Especially, when she can't communicate well enough to tell me she doesn't feel good. The only signs she could give was to walk around with a blanket putting her head down every now and again.

Still, two kids simultaneously puking and pooping uncontrollably is not an easy task to take on. I busted my ass this week. Between nurturing, sanitizing, and keeping up with the laundry, I had my hands full.

AND WE SURVIVED!

Kinda.

Guess who got it next?

Yep.

That would be me.

Nothing like waking up in the middle of the night spewing puke before I could even register that I was getting sick.

Thankfully, the kiddos were back to normal today and Hubs could take the day off to care for them while I recovered. He was amazing and took great care of them. It definitely allowed me to rest easier.

Not that I doubt my Hubs ability to care for our kids. One of the many things that has changed in our household since I've been a stay-at-home Mom is that the kiddos now prefer me to do most things for them. Tanner tries to step in and help quite often, but sometimes they reject him. Nothing personal, the kids are creatures of habit and when Dad does things differently, it doesn't go over well. It can be frustrating for all of us and most days I feel like I have to be the peacemaker. But today, the kids and Hubs meshed well and they seemed to have a wonderful day together.

Awesome.

I'm feeling much better, btw.

Back to the grind tomorrow. Turner goes back to school so I'll only have Lauren for most of the day which will ease me back into my routine.

It's crazy how a little virus can turn a household upside down.

Oh, the things we take for granted.

Sleep.
Health.

They're biggies.

I know after the week we've had, I'm more thankful for the simple things.

I hope you and your families stay healthy and happy as we are beginning to spend more time indoors!

Love you all.
