Recovery





I think we are finally starting to recover from the stomach virus that has haunted our house for several days. It all started on Thursday morning when Emerson threw up in her crib, and it hit Jim and me on Friday. It was an extremely hard weekend trying to clean up after a kid when you feel like you are dying. We ended up taking Emerson to the doctor on Monday, and she had lost 1-1/2 pounds in a week, but she was well hydrated. Fortunately, after a couple of days at home, I think the virus may be leaving Emerson's system!

I don't think I have ever had a stomach virus, and I never want it again...and Emerson never needs it again!

On a more positive note, Emerson has been a trooper through this whole thing, and has become quite the comedian. One of her new things this week is to wear a hat in the house. That's why she is wearing a cupcake hat in the photos...not because I think she is cold.

The virus has struck our house...Stephen is in the throes of it now, and I'm just waiting for my turn. I'm glad everyone on your end is recovering!
