“Exploding Diarrhea, Vomit at the Dinner Table, Sucking out Bogeys and Other Parenting Fun“
The title also describes the last 48 hours of our lives.
The kids have been stuffy and snuffy for awhile (i.e. since the start of school). Kate started to turn first, having an out-of-sorts weekend. Tuesday night, fever hit hard. Wednesday night, Will joined in. I pushed back meetings and re-arranged scheduling to stay in Mobile longer — I didn’t think we could make the 2 hour trip back home without a major illness event. This morning, we woke up early and drove to NOLA for a 10am doctor visit.
Both kids have ear infections. No flying. Our travel plans for the weekend (visiting my Aunt, Uncle, Grandma, Cousin, Great Uncle, Great Aunt, and parents — and doing a ton of fun stuff including seeing Buzz Aldrin[!!]) cancelled.
Kate’s ear is actually not infected…yet. The doctor felt it was “going downhill” and would be joining her brother’s pussy, red status soon. She is still struggling with congestion and fever. This is the second time we’ve done this with Will (the first time was on his second birthday). Not fun.
