The Sickhouse

It's official. The boys (and I) all have a stomach virus. Winston's symptoms started on Tuesday, mine on Wednesday, while Wesley and Charlie held off until Thursday. Thinking that this was a 2-3 day bug, we were concerned that as of Sunday, Winston was still sick. So I spoke with the doctor yesterday, and he said it was a virus that could last 7-10 days. Fantastic. He recommended what he called the BRATY diet: bananas, rice, applesauce, toast and yogurt.

The miracle is that this is only the second time the boys have been sick. The first time, it was a head cold which I proceeded to get from them. Fortunately, Nanna & Poppa were visiting that time as well and were able to care for all the sickos. After two sick visits, I'm hoping they do want to come back!
