High Fevers and Diarrhea

Well, it can't all be good news. This blog is a family journal and today's update is Sickness. Buxton is struggling with a fever of 102 and vomiting. He's really having a hard time, his skin is on fire and he is very uneasy about it. We were up all night trying to get him settled. He can't keep down his Tylenol. So we are doing cool baths and soup. Buxton turns into such a needy Mommas boy when he's sick, which is understandable, but difficult with two little ones, especially two sick little ones. Brayleigh Ann is doing better, but has been dealing with diarrhea for a few days now. My biggest concern with her is keeping her hydrated. Two very needed children with only two hands to help. This is when being a 'single' Mom hits the hardest. I hate seeing my babies in pain, and Matthew hates not being here to help.

  1. So sorry. Poor babies (and Mommy!). I'll keep all of you in my prayers. Wish I could be there to help cuddle and sooth foreheads with cool cloths. Hang in there and grab that nap when you can.

    Oh, and thanks for not sending pics of the outflow.. Love to all. -Gma
