Sickness

You know, I never thought that I would be so thrilled that one of my sons would have a "normal" poopy diaper. After the week we've had here in the Surdukowski home, poopy diapers are finally under control. At least I think.

So, Monday night I heard Spencer fussing. He soaked through his diaper. That's when I discovered that Tanner had gotten sick in his bed. So we got both boys cleaned up and back to bed. Tanner got sick once more that night, but since he's had some really nasty diapers. Up until today, he's been pretty sick. Fortunately he's been acting fairly well, so I wasn't too worried. Yesterday, however, I noticed that he wasn't having wet diapers. That worried me a little bit so we started to really push the water and pedialyte. Thankfully today he had some good wet diapers. His poor bum is just raw from all the sick poop, so we're now treating that. But he finally had a semi-normal diaper this evening, and to be honest, I couldn't have been more thrilled. He's finally getting better and I'm grateful for that.

Spencer got sick Wednesday night. He, unfortunately, got sick a few more times than Tanner. But thankfully, both he and Tanner only were physically sick just for one night. However, he too got the sick poopy diapers as well yesterday, and a little today, but I think he's on the mend now too.

Nick and I both started feeling bad yesterday afternoon. Thankfully I only felt sick yesterday and a little today. But I never did get physically sick. Nick stayed home from work today because he's had an upset stomach pretty bad since yesterday. My poor guys! I'm grateful that I got the better end of the deal than what Nick, Tanner, and Spencer had. But, like I said, we're on the mend I'm pretty sure.

I'll tell ya, this has not been a nice week for me. If you know much about me, I seriously think I have a phobia about throwing up - me or anyone else around me. My dad calls me a sympathy puker. If I see someone do it, I'm right there with them. So I've had to face my demons this week. It's been hard, but we've made it through. I just hope that we haven't passed it on to anyone else. I keep telling myself that tomorrow will be better, and the day after that will be even better, and so forth. I'm exhausted.
