I'm home with Stinky Boo-Boo today. Poor little bugger has a stomach virus that is causing evil to come out of the bad end. And I mean evil. As in, about to throw up from the nauseating odor emitted from the bottom half. He didn't mind at all and was his usual happy self. How? I have no idea.
There were so many factors we cycled through. Maybe it was the fact that he's on formula exclusively now, but I wasn't buying it, especially since he has been eating Enfamil Infant formula since what seems like forever ago. We were supposed to introduce solids last weekend, but given that his system is all jacked up, we need to wait.
Add this to his yeast infection, eczema flare up and his usual congestion, boogers and hamster head and my goodness…this POOR child!!
He hasn't eaten his usual amount today. He took a VERY long nap earlier; almost 2.5 hours. Then, two more poops in the hour he was awake, and now, back asleep on the floor. He was playing, then laid on his side content with the pacifier with his palm pressed up against a mirror toy. Next thing you know? Out.
This is definitely not his usual self.
I called daycare to let them know what was going on. The director noted that two new babies started this week, so maybe they brought the virus with them too. Either way, he is contagious and needs to be clear for 24 hours before he can go back to school. Tomorrow's out. If he does another stinky poo-poo tomorrow, that probably means Friday is out too.
You know what stinks also? Vacation day used for a sick day where YOU aren't the sick one!
