Lexi's Sick

Lexi has been sick the past several days. Not sure what she has, but a stomach flu has it our family over the past couple weeks. Chris was in his cousin Jeremy's wedding and the entire wedding party had the flu the week prior to the wedding. Then after the rehearsal dinner, Chris came down with it and even was sick during the wedding. It seems to be a 48 hour stomach flu. Major headache, stomach cramps, no appetite, can't move/can't eat/can't do anything but lay there in the fetal position. Oh and you are either vomiting or have major runny diarrhea every time you go. My Aunt Kina watched the girls during the wedding and she got it. Then I had it (boy was I miserable), then Meamaw Kathi got it, and I heard Chris's sister had it. Well not sure if this is what Lexi has, but over the past three days, she has had a mustard, seedy, runny BM pretty much every hour or two. Her poor bottom is so red and raw that she was screaming out in pain. Sunday night, she cried all night and Tia nor myself got much sleep. Then Monday night, I had Lexi all to myself and she did not sleep a wink. I think I got a 45 minute sleep here or there throughout the night. Last night, Lexi surprised me and slept 10 hours straight from 6pm to 4am. This is the longest she's slept and no BM during this time so I was hopeful that she was over this bug. However, this morning at 7, she had a BM. It wasn't runny and it wasn't mustardy, but it was still seedy. So I am hoping it is starting to turn a corner. We've been letting her air out as much as possible and using so many ointments to protect and create a barrier. I pray this is over soon. My vacation from me being sick last week and now Lexi is depleting quickly! lol
