Ike has...

tested positive for Rotavirus. Nate's stool is still being cultured! and no results. We have to watch for Ike's hydration levels and vomitting. Had high fever last night but that should be the peak according to the dr. We'll see in the pm.

Its very contagious and there was no vaccine available when we got here to give ike and you have to do it before he is 6 months. He has probably infected the whole neighbourhood!

----------------------------------------

Took Ike to the dr and the dr said he is a big and healthy baby. He is the only 8 month old that he did not have to check into the hospital and put a drip on. Thats how bad the rotavirus can get. The worse is not over though, we will know in the next 48 hours which way it goes. He will have high fevers and diarrhea.

It looks like he may have also developed a slight diaper rash on his peepee! oh no!

nates tests came back as rotavirus too but he is definitely back to his normal tiaopi (mischevious) self.
