After two weeks of sickness, I think we’re starting to come out of the woods.  Thankfully.  Seriously, this is the second round of illness that started with a minor cold and ended up taking 2-3 weeks to move on.  It could be a long winter.

Anyway, I told you about PoopFest 2009 last week, which fortunately ended about Friday, but unfortunately degraded into Alex throwing up entire meals at least once a day by Friday.  It was not fun.  Not fun.

We are still convinced it was all the sinus drainage (the poop and the other stuff), but it was not a fun few days.  For him or for us.

It was especially complicated when, on Saturday night, I realized that he hadn’t wet a diaper since I got him up that morning.  So we called the pediatrician who gave me some ideas for getting liquids into him.  He was better on Sunday, thankfully.  But it was a little scary for a while there.

It was also a little funny because he got really annoyed at us for trying to put cups and bottles into his mouth.  He’d clamp his mouth shut, pull his head as far away as he could get it, and give us a look that said, “What is your problem…I’m NOT thirsty…Go away!” 

But I do think we are on our way to complete wellness again. Yesterday he did not get sick once, and he acted hungry again.  For the first time in days.  And he was drinking again on his own.

And, good for me, we are finally well enough to go to Bible Study this morning.  Yippee!
