No Mommy PTO

A visit to the doctor confirmed it...

My son has the lately, greatest stomach bug that's going around.

Fortunately for him, today has been better than yesterday. His demeanor has brightened and his appetite is slowly returning, but we were advised to lay low until the yuck goes away entirely. I'll spare you the details, but let's just say it's "working its way out".

I was about to sigh in relief when our pediatrician warned, "Watch out. You'll probably catch it next..."

...and that's all it took to suck me into a Lysol/ hand sanitizer tailspin. Did I mention moms don't get sick days?

oh, didn't read your blog until today. am sorry to hear your son was unwell.

what's the common name of that stomach bug anyway?

i really hope you didn't get sick like the dr predicted, and i'm glad that your son's getting better.

take care! (and if i was in your place, i would've panicked like crazy!)

Hmmm, I don't know what the common name is... Just that it's gross and you don't want it :-)

Thanks for the comment and your concern!

Take Care
