THOSE LITTLE FAT HANDS MADE US SICK

OH DEAR!!!!! what did those little fat hands do??
Thusrday morning as I drove the 45 minutes to Amy’s to look after Riley Amy
rang to say Riley had been sick!!
When I got there he also had diarrhoea. So off Amy went to work and the poor little man wasn’t feeling too good. Lots of cuddles and a little sleep in Grandma’s arms. Then a small bottle of water. As he kept that down I thought I would give him his bottle of milk.
Oh oh … big mistake - Grandma what were you thinking!!!!
Out it comes again. So I got Amy to get a doctors appointment and meet me there with him. Poor little man had gastroenteritis. Lots more cuddles for the day, some small amounts of water and some gastrolyte in the water too, until his Mummy and Daddy (Ryan)got home from work to take over. Lots of handwashing and extra care with cleanliness was undertaken.
Come Friday Riley was improving and able to have some half strength formula/milk in his bottle and even had some vegies. He and his Mummy came to visit.
Look he’s even smiling as he sits in his seat at Grandmas to eat those vegies.
Come Saturday 4am his Mum has it – oh no. She rings me in the morning to see how I am and I tell her I don’t feel so good. So now that’s 2 of us down.
Next to go down is the daddy and then on Saturday night the Grandmadaddy – that’s Max. He is never sick and can’t believe he has got it.

Mmm… this is what Max and I are sipping away at.
It is supposed to be good for you and make sure you don't dehydrate.

So come today Monday Max is home from work, I am still feeling yuck, Ryan is able to work from home, Amy has gone to work and the little man that gave it to us is back at crèche.
Oh no – we think that’s where he got it.
Hope we don’t all get it again.

Oh No, Those adorable little hands could not have done this! They do carry so many germs as adorable as they are. The stomach stuff just runs thru the family. The funny thing is, the kids get it and it is done so quickly and we adults get it and we are down for days. Ughh, so sorry and hope you are all feeling better very soon, Jamie

Ugh - it's so hard when everyone gets it! We have 6 in our house so things get passed from one to the next. I should have stock in Airborne. Do you have that there? It's like a vitamin punch - invented by school teachers. Hope you're doing better soon. Blessings... Polly

Unknown said...

Oh Alison, thankfully it goes as quick as it comes! My eldest daughter works at a preschool, and is always bringing home germs, I should have a special degermer to scan her before she walks in the door!

Oh Alison,
That's too bad. I hope you're feeling a lot better by now.

How could someone so adorable get you sick? Are you sure you didn't get it somewhere else? I think you must be mistaken, someone with a smile like that wouldn't do it!

I can't believe those cute little hands did that! No really when I started working in the school system I was sick the whole first year. I caught EVERYTHING. I have the immunities of superwoman now! What fun you will have with that little bundle of joy!
