Ready for the upswing

This last week has probably been one of the hardest so far in parenthood. The only one worse I can think of happened last year (at this very time) when Hunter was admitted to the hospital for a week with RSV. Last Thursday, Reagan came down with the stomach flu that has been going around like wildfire. I was hoping Hunter got away without catching it, but Friday he started the puking and diarrhea as well. Sorry to be graphic but no description would even come close to how bad (and smelly!!) it has been around here. Lo and behold, on Saturday both Ryan and I came down with it. Luckily, ours was short-lived but Reagan and Hunter's is still carrying on. I took Hunter to the doctor today because he would not drink anything and I was very worried about dehydration. The doctor said he was borderline dehydrated and gave me some pointers on what to do. He suggested small servings of both Pedialyte and Gatorade. He said if he threw that up, he'd have to come back in. All I could think about was my poor little guy having to get an IV for fluids:-( I gave him small servings of both Pedialyte and Gatorade and he kept it down. His attitude seems to be a bit better so hopefully he's on the upswing. Reagan seems to be doing much better as well.

I know this isn't a "fun" post but it may explain why I haven't posted any pictures lately. I promise to post pictures just as soon as I get some. In the meantime, please pray for our kiddos.
