First Stomach Virus

Well it has finally happened…Caleb has caught his first stomach virus. Yesterday was going great until he told me “poo poo”. When I picked him up I felt poo poo running down my clothes and leg. I knew immediately what was wrong. The stomach virus is an epidemic out here right now. We have been so careful to avoid playlands and the church nursery, but Caleb still caught it.

I had been dreading the idea that we might get the stomach virus because I don’t deal well with throw up, but something very maternal kicked in yesterday when Caleb needed me. Thankfully this morning Caleb is a little better. He still has a fever, but the other symptoms have stopped. We are praying for a complete recovery before Mimi arrives for a visit tomorrow.
