Okay...I am starting to think that there is a method to Brody's madness! So, last year at this time (which happens to be my Birthday week), Brody got the norovirus and passed it on to the rest of our household (with the exception of Molly). Remember this? Well, yesterday morning, Brody came into our room around 5:00 am saying his tummy hurt and he needed something to drink. Ted got him something and went back to bed. A little later, he came in our room again and said he had pooped in the potty and he needed help. I helped him with that and sent him back to bed. Well, around 7:45, he was yelling from his room "Mommy, I need to froke (his way of saying throw) up!" I ran in there and he said he felt sick and needed to "froke" up. He didn't get sick, but when I gave him his breakfast, he wouldn't eat much. I gave him some ginger ale, hoping it would settle his stomach, but after his second glass of it, he told me he didn't want the "green juice" anymore. All morning, he would go from telling me he was going to get sick to running around and planning. Initially, I thought he must just have a sour stomach because he has had a runny nose and thought the drainage was making his stomach hurt.
Well, for lunch, he didn't eat much, if anything. I took him up to his room after that to lay down in his bed and watch some TV. He called me up there twice telling me he was going to sick, but nothing. I told him he needed to lay down and take a nap and that he would feel better. He ended up falling asleep for about an hour and he told me he felt better when he got up. But, the same thing happened in the afternoon - one minute he was telling me he was going to get sick and the other minute he was playing and having a good time. I was stumped.
I also forgot to mention that he ended up peeing in his pants 3 times yesterday. He hasn't had an accident in forever, especially during the day. This was not like him. I kind of thought that since I was pushing alot of liquids, he couldn't get to the bathroom fast enough.
So, last night, we gave him a bath and put him in bed a little early. He was asleep by 7:15 and I had to wake him up this morning for school. He seemed okay this morning (just a little grumpy, which sometimes happens) and Ted took the kids to school so I could drop Ethan off at his Mom's house for school. Well, I was on my way to work and Ted called to tell me that Brody had an accident at school. He had pooped his pants! I mean really? I am totally thinking something is up now. But, Ted said he was fine when he left. I was waiting for the call from daycare, because I figured it was just a matter of time.
Well, that call came at 9:00 this morning. I was in a meeting so they called Ted. Brody got sick twice at school and had another accident. Ted picked him up (I absolutely could not leave work today because I have a deadline of today on a big project I am working on). I have called Ted twice now and he said Brody seems to be okay. He hasn't gotten sick again and he has had no accidents. We shall see what the night brings. I am probably going to be home with him tomorrow just to let him relax one more day.
I am really hoping this isn't deja vu and the same thing happens last year. Ted and I are playing to go out for my birthday Saturday night and I am hoping we won't have to cancel. It seems like everytime we try and plan something, it either gets cancelled or it doesn't work out because one or both of us is sick! I am keeping my fingers (and toes) crossed that this doesn't happen!
