Bring out yer dead!

The W household has been stricken by a rather nasty stomach virus. I blame myself for not using the shopping cart cover at Target. I blame my son for chewing the edge of the shopping cart at Target. I blame his not-yet-emerged molars for making him need to chew something. But mostly I blame the shopping cart for being unclean.

Both Mr. W and myself have had the virus -- and all I can say is that pepto bismol? Not a really good solution to the queasiness of a stomach virus. Also? Those baby wipes for adults things? A godsend when the virus hits.

We are both feeling better. The lowercase, however, has been sick since Monday. We are on day 7 of the illness. The doctor said yesterday that he's still alright -- no need for a trip to the hospital for an IV or anything. If he's still sick Monday or Tuesday of this week THEN he'll start doing samples and cultures and damn I do not look forward to COLLECTING those samples.

Insider trading tip: Buy stock in Pampers -- we're buying both the diapers and the wipes by the truckload right now. Profits are sure to soar.

"I'm not dead yet!"

Sorry to hear about the illness invading your family. Even if lowercase is sick today/tomorrow, he should be fine as long as he's keeping down fluids and peeing. I hope it's moot point, though, and that everyone is well again.

T had it a couple of weeks ago. I washed my hands every couple of minutes and sanitized the whole house once he was feeling better. So far Azure and I have avoided getting it.

I hope all the little man is feeling better soon.
