Another illness going around.

I have never heard of shigella until I received an email this morning. Apparently, it's going around our schools right now.

We have the stomach bug hitting our house right now. Thank goodness for zofran. This sucks.

    Oh, lovely. Sad

    My son had diarrhea for 10 days.  It started last week Monday, and it wasn't until yesterday that I think we can safely say he is over it.  He was having 8-10 messy diapers a day that first week, and his butt was so raw that there were two quarter-sized areas that were bleeding and the creams and ointments wouldn't even stick to them. It was completely awful, and I cannot believe it lasted that long.  After the weekend, his butt was looking much better, but there are still a couple of red spots.

    He had no other symptoms of being sick, though, and we had it tested and it was negative for any sort of bacteria, thank goodness.
