Update on Landis

Landis has not thrown up today, thankfully, but she has thrown up every day since Wednesday but with less frequency. She has not eaten since Wed at dinner either. She is starting to take little nibbles of rice cake or dried cereal but that is about it. She still has the runny poo and is NOT happy about it. I am so glad that I had a supply of disposables before we got this crud:) Today her spirits are up and she is nursemaid to the girls. She checks the potty to see their vomit, she brings them drinks and is even entertaining them with her awesome smiles which we have not seen in days.

And another one down

At 1:20 we are woken up by another puke fest but this time it was Lela. Like most anything Lela manages to do things without getting messy. She doesn’t like to be wet, dirty or messy. So with all her grace she manages to get up, throw up and not get a speck on herself or her bed. Amazing. So the jury is in and apparently they both have what Landis had. Hopefully it won’t be the week long ordeal that Landis has had.

Another one bites the dust

Well Piper had an accident in her bed the other night (the first one in forever) and I did not have a waterproof cover on her bed:( So we went off to IKEA to get her a new mattress. When we got it home I put a cover on it that is a fuzzy blue thing and I left the plastic on her mattress. I felt bad about it but I wasn’t prepared with a waterproof cover and I figured we would just try it. Thank goodness I did.

At 10:20 she woke up covered in puke. She had thrown up while sleeping so it was in her hair and all over her bed. We got her all cleaned up, stripped the plastic covered mattress and put her to bed in our room on her mattress on the floor.

Then we dozed off wondering if she had gotten Landis’ bug.
