Sick Week!

Well, it's been tons of fun at my house this past weekend and week.
Ema had to go for her 6 month check-up where she was found to be almost 16 pounds. That's right! My 6 month old daughter weighs more than half of what my two year old sons weigh! FATTY!!! Anyways, she had diarrhea when we went to the doctor that day, but she seemed to think that Ema was looking ok, so she just told me to keep fluids in her and make sure that she was essentially getting the BRAT diet. Ema got 5 (that's right FIVE) shots that day. So, when I woke up the next morning and found her to have a fever with beet red legs, it was not great. We had a time of it over the next day or so. I had to give her Tylenol every four hours for a couple of days. She DID manage to continue to have the diarrhea for days! Actually, she still has it as I am writing this!
Unfortunately, she gave me the diarrhea. Cooper had a little bit of it, too. Good side of this, again, as I am writing this blog, Ethan and Hunter feel fine! I worry about Ema getting sick more than anything. I'm not sure what I can do, but I hate to think that it could be anything that could affect her shunt. I know that sounds crazy, and rationally, I know it won't worsen things. I just worry! I had to miss two days of work which stinks, but sometimes, there's absolutely nothing you can do about missing work or things that you really need to do.
Well, I'm going to go hang out with my hubby for the few minutes we get at night!
