As I mentioned previously, because Ajax was ill on Tuesday, Rod, was nice enough to come down on Wednesday to babysit for us on Thursday and Friday. He also brought down their four month old puppy, Eli, who was just so cute and friendly. Thursday and Friday passed without incident, Ajax had a ton of fun with his papa, and though the stomach bug passed he is still hitting his right ear which concerns me greatly. He’s on the new antibiotic along with a probiotic supplement to help his tummy and his appetite is slowly coming back. At the doctor’s office Ajax only weighed 28.4 pounds. On Thursday night I went grocery shopping and had to do another run to Target as the deals were just too good to pass (I only spent $1.12 out of pocket and walked out of the store with another $5 gift card).
Anywho, on Friday my stomach began rolling and continued all day. I thought I must have eaten something that didn’t agree with me and for some reason the fact that my son was home sick with a stomach bug never entered my mind. By the time I got home from work I barely made it to the couch before crashing and ended up being sick all night. Dave and Ajax therefore made dinner (pizza) and Ajax was in bed by 7 pm before Rod and Eli took off for home.
Around midnight Ajax decided that he was done sleeping. He then proceeded to get up every hour and then every half-hour. I have no idea why. Dave and I took turns getting up with him, but to be fair, Dave was up all night with him. At 4 am Dave just got up and the two started their day. Around noon I dragged myself out of bed and plopped on the living room chair, while Dave laid on the couch and there we basically stayed all day. Ajax took two naps on Saturday totaling five hours. The rest of his day was spent entertaining himself, which was a blessing. He was content reading his books, playing with his legos, and pushing his trucks. For being such a pain the night before he was so good during the day.
By Saturday night I was feeling better, when Dave took a turn and came down with the stomach bug. I therefore got up with Ajax this morning at 6 am to lay on the couch and watch Sesame Street – thank you TV. Dara also just called and apparently Rod is now sick with the stomach bug too. I’m so sorry! These darn ninos.
