An Update...We're Home...for Now

I just want to thank everyone that has expressed so much concern for my youngest child, Dylan. He is home now but not out of the woods. As you can see from the picture above, he was a sick little kid

Apparently rotavirus is what struck our home in the last week. This is a common childhood illness but Dylan's body just could not handle it. He was pretty seriously dehydrated. He was doing pretty well by the time we left the hospital yesterday but started having problems again once we returned home. I will be speaking with his doctor this morning to determine what the next course of action should be to get him healthy.

As most of you know, hospitals scare me when it comes to Tyler. As Dylan lay in the hospital bed on Tuesday night, I was so glad that food allergies were not something I had to worry about. Funny enough, I instinctively still read labels. There must be some sort of a label reading disorder moms like me have.

In spite of all of that, we still had a food allergy scare. Dylan is on a very strict, bland diet. My husband was careful to get Dylan foods Tyler could eat, too. But, since we were both so exhausted, we both missed something. Shortly after Tyler and Dylan shared a bowl of cereal (no milk, of course), I noticed the cereal had coconut oil in it. Tyler had eaten it and had no reaction. But, we will not be chancing it again.

Amazing how Dylan is sick, yet Tyler's food allergies still make me a nervous wreck!

I will (hopefully) return to my regular blogging schedule tomorrow. I have a few guest bloggers coming (if you would like to be included, check out this). Plus, I have a few simple posts I can prepare. I will return with some more of my own meatier posts on May 4.

I hope you will enjoy and learn a lot from from our guests. It will probably be nice to hear someone else's perspective for a change! Thanks again for all of your well wishes for Dylan. It means a lot!
