the boys are SICK!
i'm sad to report that i didn't realize Jackson was "sick" today or i wouldn't have taken him to church...SORRY to all of you who came in contact with him. i really wasn't trying to be neglectful.
when he woke up this morning, he said he thought he wet his bed. his pull-up was dry so i told Anthony to go and check his bed out to see if it was wet. he came down and said no, it wasn't wet but that there was some brown powder in his bed. it was a busy Sunday morning as usual and i was running around like a crazy woman and didn't have time to investigate the powder. i just thought it must be food and Anthony didn't seem all that concerned.
Jackson was fine all day. didn't want to eat much, but fine. took a nap...not unusual. played outside with friends. after we came in...Harrison was at Kids Praise...we went upstairs to get ready for bed. i rememberd the "brown powder" that was reported this morning and decided to check his bed out. OH NO!!!! YUCK!!!! it was vomit. dried. gross. my poor boy had thrown up in his bed and we had no idea. it must have happened right after he went to bed last night because it was dry by the time Anthony checked it out this morning. it stunk, of course. GROSS!!!
i put Jackson in the bath. poor thing didn't have a bath this morning. i would have given him one if i had only known! Anthony and Harrison came in from Kids Praise as i was bathing Jackson and we had a discussion about the "brown powder". evidently Anthony hasn't had very much experience with vomit so he was completely clueless about it. i don't blame him. i really blame myself. i should have gone upstairs and checked things out this morning but i was trying to rush...as always on Sundays. Jackson wasn't acting strange and there wasn't anything on his clothes that would have alerted us.
got his bed all cleaned up.
Harrison just came down about 20 minutes ago. threw up all over his bed. YUCK! had to throw away the down comforter he sleeps with. can't wash those and it was EVERYWHERE!!! there was no salvaging that blanket. scrubbed the mattress. put sheets in the wash. cleaned Harrison up and now he is on the floor in our room with a bucket beside him. hoping he'll be OK and won't need the bucket. we'll see.
please pray for us! please pray that Addison will not get this. pray that Anthony and i won't get this. things are CRAZY for him at work this week and he can't afford a stomach bug. i am training for my half-marathon and can't afford to miss my mid-week runs.
i know you probably could have done without this post but i had to vent and also warn you...
Beware..."brown powder" needs to be investigated immediately. it can't wait. it means something really gross and yucky has happened and sterilization will be necessary.
praying you all stay well...
