Germs...

As you know, we got home on Sunday.  On our way home I talked to my parents who were watching our other three kids in CF.  She told me she thought Austin probably had strep and for that reason we felt that we probably shouldn't have him in the same car with Eden.  My parents gladly brought the kids back to New Hampton so we wouldn't have to do that.  We have to be extra cautious with Eden and make sure to keep her away from any possible infection.  Once home we made sure to keep Austin away from Eden.  But we let the girls play with her keeping their distance a bit.  On Monday night I was awakened by Brian telling me Adah just puked at the top of the stairs...A LOT.  It was the biggest pile of puke I had ever seen and it was in her bed, hair, on the floor in her room, everywhere.  So at about 11:30 at night she got a bath.  I took a washable comforter to my room and set up a bed on the floor next to me.  Literally 15 minutes after getting settled in Brian came in to tell me Keziah just puked.  So he stayed out on the couch with Keziah set up on a comforter on the floor while I was with Adah and all night about every 15 minutes they puked.  Adah stopped by about 1:30 and Kez stopped about 4 am.  All day today they have done nothing but lay around but so far no more puking!  Whatever Eden had was pretty nasty and took over the other two pretty quick! 
Oh yeah, and we took Austin to the doctor and it was confirmed as strep!

 

We really didn't want Eden around the girls and she really needed to be able to play so for a while Eden and I stayed on the top floor and played up in her room, we had Kez and Adah down in the living room, and Austin downstairs in his room.  But Eden could only do so much in her room and she was getting tired of it by the afternoon so during nap time I deep cleaned the living room so Eden could come down there and play.  I set up the girls in my room with the TV on.  Here they are looking so miserable...poor sweeties!  Austin was allowed to move out to the basement living room and watch TV if he was feeling up to it.

 

Adah was really tired from her eventful night.  She was playing a game on the iPad and just fell asleep.  My kids never do this!
