So normally I wouldn’t do a post like this but it has been a weird past 36 hours in our house. I guess not quite 36 hours yet but we are on our way to it. It started early Friday morning (2am) when S suddenly woke up and got sick. I knew at that point it was going to be a long night for me. He proceeded to get sick every hour or so until we got up officially for the day at 6:30am. At that point, I made S go and stay in my bed to keep P and him separated. I was hoping it keep P from getting the stomach flu and so far it has worked.
Unfortunately, this was not the end for S. He proceeded to get sick about 2-3 times per hour until about 2pm. It was quite a bit of running around for me. At that point P had been asleep for about an hour and it seemed to slow down a little with S. I noticed before P went to bed that she was getting more congested as the morning went on. Great on top of S being sick now P was getting a cold. When I laid her down for her nap at 1pm she was all stuffed up and had a full-on cold. Her sleeping didn’t last long and she woke up at 2:30pm. I managed to get her to fall back asleep on the couch with me and noticed when I got P that S had fallen asleep. So we all took a much needed nap and S had a small break from getting sick. S woke us all up at 4pm when he got sick again and proceeded to get sick about once an hour until about 8pm. At that point things had slowed down. I thought for sure he had to be done I mean how long was this going to last?
I got P ready for bed and put her down hoping she wasn’t going to get sick in the night. I made sure to turn up her baby monitor so I could hear her. I got ready for bed and then got S ready for bed. Tonight was going to be different. B was especially paranoid about getting sick so he decided to sleep on the couch in the computer room and stay away from the germs. To keep S close to me he got to stay in my bed and sleep with me. This meant I wasn’t going to get much sleep because every move or sound he made I was making sure he wasn’t going to get sick. Thankfully, P never got sick and is still just down with a cold. S got sick a few more times throughout the night and is currently still sleeping. It is only 6:15am so he should be anyways.
So as of Saturday morning the entire living room is covered in sheets in the event P gets sick, S is still asleep in my bed and the last time he got sick was 4am, and P just has a cold. B and I have not gotten sick yet and if we are lucky enough it will be contained to only S. I was supposed to go to my brother’s last night with S and of course that was cancelled. I was hoping to just go by myself this evening, but I think S has other plans for me and it is not going to happen. I am also worried that P may get sick and I don’t want that to happen and me not be here for her. It looks like we are going to be contained to the house for the weekend.
