One Sick Plus Girl Scout Cookies Equals Dead Battery

Monday, February 15, 2010

It has been a crazy weekend. My son did good recovering from his biopsy, but came down with a stomach bug. At first, I thought it was a complication from the procedure. He was vomiting. A lot. I called the Pediatric Surgeon on call at the hospital that he had the biopsy done, and he didn’t think it was related. He thought it could be the pain medicine or a stomach bug. My little boy didn’t start getting sick until Thursday evening and the procedure was Tuesday.

Of course, I had to leave a message for the doctor and he called me back at 4:30AM. I was not happy to be woken up at that time, especially since I had stayed up late waiting for him to call. I was relieved that it wasn’t a complication of the biopsy. I took my son off the pain medicine, but that didn’t help. It was a stomach bug.

It has been tough on my little boy. He would be really hungry and eat a little bit, then it would come back up. It got to the point that he refused to eat anything. Slowly, with crackers, sprite and sympathy, my little boy started to get better. By Sunday, he was eating and drinking again. So far, no one else in the family shows signs of having caught his stomach bug.

I also had to deliver Girl Scout cookies to the moms in my daughter’s troop on Saturday. Of course, it snowed Friday night. One of the moms didn’t show up and I haven’t been able to get hold of her. Sunday was Cookie Booth day for our little troop. It actually turned out to be a pleasant experience. We didn’t sell as many as we had hoped, but the girls had a great time.

I managed to piss my husband off by hogging the computer to play Evony. He really hates the game. He thinks I spend too much time on it. He’s probably right, but I enjoy it. He watched racing all weekend, except for when I had to call him to come get me because the battery in the truck died. At least we received our tax refund money Friday, so we had the $100 it took to buy a new one.

I have several reviews that I need to get working on this week and I still need to finish the book I am reading. Did I mention how sore I am from moving cases of cookies from place to place? Bayer has become my new best friend. That was my weekend. How was yours?

I'm so sorry to hear your little guy was sick; glad he is on the mend. Sounds like he picked something up from the hospital; they are such germy places.

It's so hard when our kiddos are sick, especially the ones who can't express it well or understand what's happening.

Hope you are feeling better too :).

I caught your blog while looking up to see if anyone else had gotten sick from eating peanut butter sandwich girl scout cookies....My DD is the only one in the house who seemed to have a bug, small fever, and puking with stomach cramps. She is the only one to also have eaten some of those cookies. Just curious if your little guy had some of the same. I also blog...spiceymom.blogspot.com....I will be adding you to my list of blogs I visit. BTW, love it. Hope this week is going better than last week.

I came across your blog while searching for others who have gotten sick from eating girl scout cookies...somehow, your blog title came up. Anyway, my DD was the only one in our household who seems to have gotten a "bug"...puking, stomach cramps, and small fever...she is also the only one to have eaten Girl Scout peanut butter sandwich cookies...don't know if the two are related, but her illness seemed more food issue than stomach flu....Anyway love your blog and will be revisiting...I also blog at www.spiceymom.blogspot.com. Hope your little guy is better and this week goes better than the last
