Packing on the Pounds....again

Sonic is roaming free in our house today so that should tell you everyone is on the mend. I feel so bad that I haven't had anything in my system other than Gatorade for a week and now I am compelled to load it with crap. I'm am definitely doing a cleanse this week just have to go to Wild Oats to get the fresh veggies (even knowing I just ate crap eating something healthy grosses me out way more). I will do it because I actually need it.
My sweet squirting Squirt is still dealing with a tiny, tiny bit of diarrhea. It looks like he is going to have for it for the 10 days. At its peak, this disgusting bug was having us change filled diapers every 4-12 minutes. No joke. Normal would be 8 diapers in 8 hours. We had met the 8 quota in a little over an hour. Our doc was shocked at the amount that was coming out of him and he wasn't dehydrated. Thank goodness for LiquiLytes. We had 24 hours minute by minute fun. He started to get a pretty nasty diaper rash until we made the best diaper rash cream ever (I'm pretty sure Triple Paste and Butt Paste are the best, but they just didn't cut it this time).
Equal amounts of Mylanta and Aquaphor. Mix those two together (mix,mix, and mix) and VIOLA! Slapped it on that cute little butt and a few diaper changes later things were clear again. Now we are back to using Butt Paste and will hopefully never have to pull out the M&A cream again. That recipe was courtesy of Betsy, the super- awesome PA.
We are quite thankful to be feeling well again :)

Please, please send your prayers to the Smith family.

I have loads of other junk to post about (like how I serenated on a piano to a song called "in and out") soon but for now I must go and kill any germs that are left.
