Ill Little Ones

The past week has been a slow one at the Altman household. Last Saturday evening Jake downed his bedtime bottle and then upped it again all over his mother. He was not a happy toddler. Mommy was not a happy mommy either. Getting puked on is not fun. Within a few hours she was sick, too.

Jake had a miserable night even though his daddy sat up with him in a recliner keeping him company. His next day went no better when his parents withheld food and drink from him so as not to have a repeat performance. After eight hours he got a few sips and then was put on half water/half milk rations for the next twenty-four hours.



Jake was better two days later. Kara had body aches for the next few days and by Friday she developed a head cold--just in time to join Viva who came down with a high fever on Thursday. Viva moped around all day Thursday and Friday. She was not pleased with anyone who put her down.



Bentley meanwhile has resisted all the germs and maintained his usual high spirits. Way to go! (Matt, too, has avoided being ill.)
