Rotavirus

So apparently the flu bug did not arrive at our house...  Turns out it is Rotavirus which caused dehydration.

I called this morning to get an appointment and got in at 1:00. Grannie called at 9:00 and said Addie wasn't looking so good. Ended up leaving school right away for a 9:30 appt. for Colin and Addie both. They both ended up with rotavirus--yes, we were vaccinated for it at their 9 month appt I believe. The doctor said that usually kids get that in the winter-not summertime. Since Addie had really only had 1 wet diaper in 24 hours, he sent us to the hospital for IVs for both kids.

 I was a little worried on how the kids would do and to my surprise, they were perfect. So perfect the nurses said that they were the best behaved kids she'd ever done before.  (Maybe they tell all parents that?) But really, NOT ONE whine, whimper or cry while the nurses were messing with them. They both layed on the bed and didn't move while they put their IVs in. Addie feel asleep in my arms for the full hour we were there. Colin did great too. He got tired about 15 minutes into it and whined for 2 minutes until he feel asleep. I reclined and enjoyed a Dr. Pepper and watched Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders. :) Definitely a pleasant experience.

We made it back home and Addie did end up barfing again. Colin seems to be doing much better. Addie is better but not great quite yet. Rotavirus is very contagious. Someone explain to me why Brady hasn't gotten it...yet??
