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.
