It all started when we got back from Katy, the weekend we spent going to play Top Golf with Kenny and Kelcie. When we got back to the house Saturday afternoon, I noticed Walker was warm and was not eating his lunch (a very rare thing for him not to do), so I knew right then and there that he was not feeling well. Later that day, the diarrhea started and lasted the entire weekend. I ended up staying home from work on Monday as well. Tuesday, was my Birthday and it seemed like he was feeling better. No more fever and had not had a bowel movement since that Monday morning. So we headed to school. By lunch time, we had to head back home because of more diarrhea. I felt so bad for him. However, luckily it seemed like William was staying out of the clear of it all. Matt and I split the day staying home ,so that I could get a few hours in at work that Wednesday and then by Thursday, Walker seemed to be much better and was eating. - I was beginning to miss my big boy eating. However, Friday Matt had to come pick up the boys early because William started to not feel well. And by Friday night, it got bad for William. Poor guy :( .
That weekend, my Parents (Nonie and Pawpaw) were coming in to College Station for my Birthday and my Mom and I were going to go shopping. I felt so bad leaving William for a few hours with him not feel well. He also started running a fever, and I felt like he had the tummy bug worse than Walker did. But by that Monday Morning, he seemed to be doing much better and we went to school. We lasted until Wednesday, and I ended up having to take the boys home because Walker started to have diarrhea AGAIN! He still had an appetite, it was just that every time he ate, it would come right back out. I couldn't believe it. I didn't know what was going on? I started thinking, 'is it because William had such a worse case of it over the weekend, it made Walker have some sort of a relapse?' I had no clue??? The three of us stayed home on Thursday, once again. And during the whole day, Walker did not have a single bowel movement. I think the kid might have just wanted another day at home or something. Until ... William started having diarrhea AGAIN! And had it the ENTIRE weekend. I was at a lose and didn't know what to do. I felt so sorry for my babies. I just wanted them to feel better. I also felt like when William would get it, it would hit him harder than it did Walker. By Monday, I told myself 'enough is enough' and I called the doctor. The nurse told me that if diarrhea lasts longer than 14 days, to call and make an appointment to be seen. 14 days ... That just seems like such a long time to deal with diarrhea for a little person. We were at day 11 by that point with William and fortunately, we didn't make it to day 14. But between the two of them, we dealt with diarrhea for 17 days. The joys of having twins ...
I'm just glad my Boys are FINALLY feeling better and are back to acting themselves. It was a little difficult for them to get back in the swing of things with school/daycare since they missed so much. I'm sure they enjoyed being home with Mommy so much. And I sure enjoyed it too.
When Walker is sick,
I've got to soak up all the cuddles I can get.
The only thing that made William happy
was snuggling with Mommy.
