Early X-mas gifts

Posted on December 11, 2009 by drdrA

Child with fever and GI issues give me an early X-mas gift.

Two Actually:

Fever and GI issues.

I’m totally wiped out.

Lovely. She’s going to have to learn to wipe her own bottom.

(p.s. actually I can’t complain too much, we’ve had about a 1 to 1.5 year run with no illness at our house. An accomplishment unimaginable when my girls were younger.)

(p.p.s.- Gross- I know, but if you are going to have kids, you are going to have to toughen up.)

Ah yes. We have a Christmas tradition around here that we’re hoping to break this year- the one where we all get norovirus and are sick on Christmas.

I hope you feel better soon!

The exact same thing happened to me last year! Luckily I was back on my feet in not too long. I hope you feel better soon.
