The boys have the rotavirus. It's a yucky stomach bug that causes vomitting, diarrhea, and fever. Poor Owen had a bad fever this morning, and Henry is starting to get over his bout of RV. I think Owen is about 3 days behind Henry, so he should be feeling better by Monday or so. He slept most of the day today and wasn't able to keep much formula down, so we have been pushing the pedialite (which he does keep down) so that's good. He gave dr. mike a big smile, and he said "Oh, that's a great sign! Really sick babies never smile!" That was good to hear. It was sad to hear that "we can't imagine how nauseous he is feeling right now" though. It's hard to see them in pain and to not be able to do anything for them.
Todd and I ordered pizza for dinner, because - as Todd says - "if we're gonna get diarrhea, it may as well be from something good." Ha ha.
