Swiftly Making Your Way Through The 'R' Viruses

Two weeks ago you surprised us by getting RSV, a pretty severe upper respiratory infection. Luckily, you only had a mild case of the virus and were well after a few days of antibiotics.

This weekend you had Rotavirus, which causes mass quantities sewage to fill (and overflow) your diapers and vomit to exit your mouth (please note, this is not a scientific description of the virus). The only thing you could keep down was Pedialyte, a beverage your daddy describes as "Gatorade that they charge extra for because it has a little bear on it."

I guess RSV was worse than Rotavirus because you had some pretty scary coughing spells. However, I can't imaging a more disgusting ailment than Rotavirus. Despite tiling the floors with blankets, I think we're going to have to get the carpets cleaned to get all of the stink out. You puked on your dad and your diaper leaked all over one of my favorite skirts. Both episodes required a bath for you and shower for us.
