It has been a rough couple of weeks for us. We have all taken our turns at being sick. Jake went to the doctor twice in two weeks. The first doctor's visit ended up being an ear infection. The following week, he developed this rash on his tummy, back, and face. It did not seem to bother him, but it started to get worse. We were wondering if it was because he was on Amoxicillin. The nurse line said to bring him in. A friend at work, Laura, thought that was what it sounded like. It ended up not being an allergic reaction, rather a viral rash. Thankfully, it started to go away. The day after visiting the doctor, Jake came home early from daycare (Thanks Daddy and Grandma Dee!) because he got sick to his stomach. When I got home from school, he took a nap, got up, and had a little snack. That all came back up as I was waiting for the Sheridan girls to arrive for our weekend in St. Cloud. I was also waiting for Matt and Katie to come. Matt and Joe were going ice fishing and Katie was going to stay home to watch Jake. Joe and Jake hung out at home for the weekend while I was away. It was so nice to relax, read, snack, chat, and watch movies with good friends. We barely made it outside all weekend. It was perfect! I felt bad when I heard that Katie was really sick Saturday and Sunday. We were using her parents' cabin and she took care of our sick boy. They thought it was food poisoning, but we later realized that was probably not the case.
I came back on Sunday and Jake was feeling much better, just not eating very much. When I got home from work on Monday night, I was not feeling well. The flu hit me so hard. Jake also got sick during the night. So, no work for me, and no daycare for Jake. Thankfully, my mom was able to watch Jake.
As the week went on, my mom, my sister, and my niece all came down with the same bug. I feel bad because we were the first to pass it on.
Let's hope this all passes from the Knutson/Deters family!!
