Well an hour later he jumps up and runs to the bathroom, yes throw up, again.. and again, and again... then again on the couch, and then the diarrhea started..............
So we had a doctors appointment scheduled for Saturday morning for his asthma/allergies. The doc said that this nasty stomach virus is going around that starts with a cough, then puking for 2 days, then 2-3 days of diarrhea, and then a rash. Can you say not your normal 24 hour bug!!I have washed blankets, washed all the couch cushions 2x, and then wrapped all beds, cushions and pillows in plastic under the cases... I have bleached everything!!!!!!!!!
I know Mike thinks I am crazy, but al I see is germs and cross contamination. The girls have been quarentined upstairs, and everyone has designated "safe" bathrooms.
And that gets me to the heart of our toliet post. My master bath toliet has been sluggish since Christmas, and completely stopped working about mid January. Mike, who is Mr Handy Manny, refused to call a plumber. He has snaked it, with my help, twice. He has dumped drain-O down the toliet, 3 times, with no success. And finally with a sick kid I was OVER not having a toliet in my room. So Monday, I AM calling the plumber! So Handy Manny brings out the big boy tools. Remember I am freaking out over germs at the moment, and taking the toliet off to me sounds like ALOT of germ transmission!
Well he did take off the toliet, with my help, YUK!
And guess what he found, after unclumping a wad of toliet paper, that REALLY was odorific?
No, we chose not to keep it!So now our toliet works again, we had a little talk with Ethan about what was appropriate to flush down the toliet. And Ethan woke up this morning feeling fine!
But Maddy & Liv are not feeling, right! In fact Liv has asked for the bucket...................

I know EXACTLY the type of culprit that would cause a toilet to stop up with a three year old boy in the house :o)...we've had similar discoveries (and discussions) over at our house as well! So sorry that you've been hit by that nasty bug...maybe the older two won't get it so severely (one can always hope, right?) And I'm the same as you when sickness arrives on our door, seeing germs everywhere. At times like that, disinfectant wipes become my best friends from all those lurking germs. Hope you get better soon!

I feel for ya - sickness and a non-working toilet. I just said to Craig today that this house must be full of germs - we've all cooughed out heads off all over the place. You know those bombs for bugs - I wonder if they make one for germs?!
You have the most exciting posts, even when talking about toilets and poop. Boys and toilets are such a bad combo. I'm thinking of putting in an outhouse for Anthony. As it is, he usually goes outside to pee-pee, not because we make him, but because he thinks it's fun and normal.
LOL!! Thanks for hte laugh. sorry about your cooties....i have oils that would stop that bug in its track and send it packing!
What? I have Crisco & Coconut oil, too. But I was going to use that for dinner tonight!
Sorry my little man is sick. This truck in the toilet sounds so much like his Dad that it is not funny. I told him that one day he would have that little boy and he would be just like him. Well it has come true! Love you guy's and I hope the girls don't get to bad with this sickness.

If it's Pooh Bear stuck in a hole, those oils would work. But if it's Pooh Bear stuck in bed, my oils would instead!
hope you are all better real soon. glad you have a working toilet, could come in handy if one of you get this bug- but hopefully that won't happen!
Wrapping the beds in plastic- I have never thought of that! What a great idea. Tell me more about that.
