Stomach Virus

In my last post I mentioned that we didn't think Dawson had "THE" stomach virus..... WRONG!!

He had it Thursday night. Grampy had it Friday, Madison Started Saturday Evening, Allison Started a few hours after Madison. Ashlyn got it Sunday morning. Granny and Uncle Adam got it this weekend as well.This thing struck hard and it struck fast. The only one who didn't get it was me. Boy I was sitting around the house all day Sunday waiting on it too. I was very picky about what I ate all day Sunday. If I didn't mind the possibility of seeing it again soon I went ahead and ate it, but other than that most food was off limits for me.

I think all in all Madison had it the worst of anybody. She had it Saturday night and was still throwing up as I was leaving for work Monday morning. Last night she had a lot of tummy pains but I think that as of today she is all better. She was doing the every 10 to 15 min thing for about 5 hours straight and it was just heartbreaking to see her that way.

So everybody is on the mend, I still do not have it yet and i'm trying to convince myself that Im safe. We'll see how the next couple of days go.

Thanks for all the positive and wonderful comments left on our last blog. It is so great to have all of you as friends, and the support we have received from all of you has been not only amazing, but a God send. I can't imagine having a better group of friends and family to travel this road with. We love you all very much!!!

And a word about Mr. Dawson. He is doing just fantastic. His speech and his sign language are really taking off and he is learning and saying new words at a very rapid rate now that we are weening the Topamax. We are so proud of him!
