sick kiddos

It's been a long month.
I think Kilynn has missed more school in the last 4 weeks, than she ever did last year.
Let's see...a rash, a uti, a random neck pain...and now a stomach bug.

So,I think all the talk about vomiting on Mandys blog, was contagious. ;0)

Lucas was complaining about his stomach all day Monday...a couple times he curled over..and didn't want to walk, eat, or so anything. SOO unlike Lucas.
but he hadn't puked or had the runs.
So, the worrier that I am..took him into the ER around 9:30 that night.
He puked on the way up.
So, they do the usual blood work, urine sample, and put an IV in just in case. The IV experience was a little unneccassary. But it's typically fairly routine.
They also do a ultrasound. Because he is moaning and groaning about it hurting..and it's sensitive to the touch.
While they are doing the u/s, I get a call from Ryan that Kilynn is vomiting as well.
So, I'm fairly certain now that it's a bug. But we wait for the results.
The u/s couldn't see the appendix, but didn't show any secondary things indicating that. And after hearing about Kilynn. We decided the radiation from the catscan isn't necessary.
So, we head home at about 3 a.m.

Both kids continue to vomit off and on all night, as well as yesterday.
But Lucas was getting a slight appetite back...Kilynn wasn't.
This morning I had to wake them up for Lucas follow-up Dr appt from the ER visit.
Both kids were super tired, and Lucas was complaining about pain again...but also sleep, so possibly being a tad dramatic.
So....we're home..both kids fell back to sleep really fast..and this is soo unlike my kids.
So, we're hoping a day of rest today, and so far no puking....and things will be back to normal tomorrow. We shall see..
My tummy isn't feeling great..but I'm trying to ignore it.
