Will it ever end?!

For those of you who are of the praying mindset--I'm asking for prayer that Isaac and I don't get the stomach flu.

I feel like it's been one health problem after another for us during the past month! Praise the Lord for good health insurance!

I had a bad cold when I delivered Isaac. Reily was also sick with a cold. Then he had terrible diarrhea and diaper rash for a week afterward. It took me about 3 weeks to get over that cold...then Reily got another cold and a double ear infection. Then Isaac got Reily's cold despite my best attempts to keep him healthy! Then this weekend, Hans got a nasty stomach flu...I thought I was getting it, just to find out yesterday that I have mastitis. Now this afternoon, Reily threw up 3 times and it looks like he has the stomach flu too! :(

I desperately want to avoid getting this bug...I had the stomach flu when Reily was 3 months old (and it was honestly worse than labor...but I'm a big baby when it comes to stomach problems), and I got so dehydrated I was never able to solely nurse him again...we had to supplement with formula. Poor little Isaac is only 5 weeks old, and I really don't want this to happen again...and I REALLY don't want Isaac to get the stomach flu!

No fun times in the Robinson household...but I have to say THANK YOU SOOOOOOOO much to my cousin Jenn for watching Reily while I went to the doctor yesterday and for bringing us dinner. YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!!

Lisa, you know I'll be there any day, any time! But I am SO sorry that Reily is sick again. I sure hope he feels better soon! And I hope you're feeling better too!
