Pictures not Included

This past week has been full of weird ailments for all in the family.  None are things you would want to see pictures of so they have not been included (nor were any taken of these events).

It started with me taking a routine pill that I take every morning.  Nothing was different about this morning except I immediately became very sick!  I was sweating and needing to throw up but couldn't.  It was so bad I had to call TJ and have him come home from work because I wasn't able to take care of Keaton.  After about an hour and a half I was better and was off to work.

When I came home that evening, TJ was in bed sick.  He has been fighting various illnesses for the past 6 months or so on and off.  He had a fever and had all the signs of mono (he's had it before when he was younger).  He stayed in bed all evening/night but then woke up the next morning feeling almost 100% better.  Weird. 

Thursday evening I picked up Keaton from daycare and he was his usual hyper, happy self.  Nothing seemed off at all until he woke up an hour after going to bed screaming.  This doesn't usually happen so we checked on him and he had thrown up all over the place.  This is the first time he has ever thrown up.  We threw his favorite blanket in the wash and gave him a bath and put him back to sleep.  An hour or so later he woke up again so we grabbed his favorite blanket from the dryer thinking that would help sooth him. He immediately threw up all over the just washed blanket as well as wall/carpet/me.  While TJ was out to buying Pedialyte to help with dehydration I made the mistake of letting him drink a bunch of water and he threw up again downstairs all over this table/floor.  We knew this was going to be a long night. So Keaton camped out with me in our bed watching movies while TJ tried to sleep in the other room. I think it was around 5am when he finally fell asleep.  It was such a weird night because he never had a fever and didn't really act sick after getting sick.  The next day he was pretty normal besides being tired and not eating a lot.  Never a dull moment with kids, the week prior we were dealing with a rash so it's always something...

Poor Manny had an irritated eye all week but with everyone else being sick it kind of got over looked.  Friday night we decided the squinting dog deserved a trip to the doctors.  Boston Terrier's eye's are prone to all sorts of things because they stick out so much.  Sure enough the doctor said Manny has a corneal ulcer in this eye.  The good news is the doctor thinks it will heal with some eye drops and he won't need surgery. 

Let's hope next week goes more smoothly than this one!
