We don't know for sure how long it has been going on. He got a bad virus at Thanksgiving, so that might have been when. But we don't know. He wasn't feeling good on Friday and Greer wasn't either so I stayed home from school with them. He said his stomach hurt and Greer threw up a little and had a headache and fever and sore throat. Atticus said his throat hurt too. 3 kids in Greer's class had been diagnosed with the flu, so we thought that's what it was. As the weekend went on, Greer got worse and Atticus seemed to be better then low on energy then better again. Sunday afternoon Greer still had fever and said her ear was hurting. We scheduled an appointment for her for Monday morning at 8:30. Her ear got worse until she was in major pain. About 11 that night her pain seemed to stop. Atticus was complaining of his tummy so we gave him a bowl. Around midnight he brought the bowl full of
vomit into our room. That began the every 30 minutes of throwing up for the rest of the night. Greer woke up around 1 am and told me her "ear was sweating". Her eardrum had ruptured. After a long sleepless night, I got Greer to doc, got antibiotics and drops for the ruptured eardrum and left Max III, Atticus & Greer at home for the day while I went to work. Atticus finally stopped throwing up around 7 pm Monday night. He was peeing every few hours so I thought he wasn't dehydrated and he was just going through the flu process.
