I stayed home with Aidan yesterday and the day before. He was experiencing intestinal distress (Isnapos;t that a nice euphamism for diarrhea?? Isnapos;t it thoughtful of me to have spared you the gory details? Youapos;re welcome) and emphatic regurgitation (read: projectile barfing). If you donapos;t enjoy reading about puke, Iapos;d skip this entry. Ok? Ok.

I tend to attribute both of these lovely symptoms to his sinus infection antibiotics, but I kept him home from daycare just in case, because they did tell me that there was a bug going around (of course) with those symptoms plus fever. He never registered a fever. He only hurled three times, and I blame each incident on his disgusting antibiotics. Each time was horrible and involved massive amounts of Resolve and Febreeze, plus re-baths for everybody who got puked on (Rickey once, me twice, Aidan thrice), plus a pile of laundry. Thank God heapos;s done with that medicine.

I already mentioned what happened Sunday night when we got home from Lake Charles.

On Tuesday night, he threw up all over me, his rocking chair, his changing table, and his laundry basket. Weapos;d given him his medicine right before his bedtime bottle. I guess the medicine didnapos;t set right with him, because he wasnapos;t all that excited about taking his bottle, and then when I burped him, it all came back up. At this point, I thought maybe he might have the daycare-diarrhea-and-puke bug, so I decided we would keep him home on Wednesday. He slept a LOT on Wednesday.

We were going to take him to daycare yesterday (Thursday) morning, since he seemed like he was feeling so much better. It was Rickeyapos;s day for the 5 am wake-up, so he got up and got dressed, and then woke Aidan up at 6 to feed him while I got dressed. But before I started getting dressed, we force-fed Aidan one last dose of medicine, then he shuddered in disgust (like Captain Jack with the Kraken), gagged, and promptly puked all over himself and Rickey. (Yeah, I might have dodged the bullet yesterday morning, but guess who got crapped on last night? ME.) So the half-hour that I was supposed to spend getting dressed, I spent cleaning up Aidan while Rickey quickly cleaned himself up so he could get to school on time. Then I figured since I was going to be, like, an hour late for work by this point, I would just work from home. So I did. (I love this job, and I love my boss.)

This morning went great, though. It was my turn for the 5 am wakeup, so I got up, got dressed, got Aidan fed and dressed, loaded up the car, dropped Aidan off at daycare, and got to the office by 7:13. Go me.

Rickey just called. He just picked Aidan up from daycare, where he apparently didnapos;t sleep much, and didnapos;t have much of an appetite. So I donapos;t know. But Iapos;m SO glad itapos;s the weekend. And I miss my part-time schedule.
