The Bug!

January 07, 2009




It was a rough week in the Swanger household, Catherine caught a stomach bug, I'm pretty sure she got it from the Dr.'s office when we went to see if she had an ear infection, it was ugly. The poor child made three visits to the Dr in one week, she lost 1/2 a pound in two days and almost made a trip to the hospital for fluids. We avoided the hospital by doing a full night of Pedilyte, 1/2 ounce every hour on the hour, cured mommy and daddy of having another baby anytime soon but it worked so it was all worth it, she maintained her weight from the day before and the Dr. was happy with that. Her daddy felt so sorry for her that he decided to join her in the misery!


Even George was feeling a little under the weather.





I've always loved Catherine's school, they are wonderful but after this week I have to say that they are fantastic. Our Dr. told us that this bug was rampant through daycares (and schools), he'd heard of a few daycares closing down classrooms because so many children were sick. Only three in Catherine's entire school got it, they are clean, they follow procedures and they really do care about their kids!
