stomach virus..yuck

I wish I had a happy update for you all. But truth is, this one STINKS- literally. Yesterday, was pretty low key. We tinkered around the house in the morning & around lunch Ju & I snuck off to grocery shop while Dad & Jai napped. I knew Santa was at Walmart so we went to get groceries there. Julian was so excited to see Santa. After collecting out groceries for the next 2 weeks we headed home to get ready for one of his best buds* our neighbors little boy* birthday party!  Julian was so excited for that as well, because it was at a huge play place filled with inflatable jumper things. I was leery bout going, & purposed more than once that we should play hooky.. but Josh insisted for a good reason! They are our neighbors and friends, they are always there & Julian adores them. SO we headed out around 3:30. Seems like the minute we walked in i heard someone from across the building hacking up a lung and i wanted to cringe. im not typically a germ freak, but there has been so much going around lately I was being overly cautious...or was i? Julian played his little heart out and around the time it was for us to set and indulge in pizza I knew something was up. Julians blood sugar was 98 with .68 on board. ( which would put him crashing in a matter of time) so we HAD to get him to eat & there was going to be absolutely no activity unless he ate enough for the BG & left room to burn some carbs. BUT the plus side was, THERE WAS PIZZA & BIRTHDAY CAKE sitting in front of him. seriously? wasnt like we were going to have to force feed him something crazy like Gumbo. HA. he threw a fit. WOULDNT EAT pizza. Cake, NOTHING. WOuldnt drink koolaid. Nothing. we were in trouble. we tried threatening if he didnt eat we were going home..but nothing fazed this tantrum(unlike julian to begin with). Finally he took a bite of his pizza, and right away spit it in his hand and started yelling. Julian always yells before throwing up. SO daddy rushed him to the nearest trashcan where it all began. It didnt take long for myself & joshs newly detailed car to be covered with vomit.&& not long after being home that the bugg was finding its way out both ends. We were in a pickle bc his BG still was going low. After a little bit, it began to climb. THANKFULLY... usually when kids are sick they run high. This is a blessing because in the case of a stomach virus, its nearly impossible to get a child to eat, and then for them to keep it down. So jUlian has not have a single unit of bolused insulin since yesterday for breakfast( he ate a carb free lunch yesterday by choice) We are still fighting the virus today. Daddy is actually out renting movies and stuff to keep us entertained today.


But i must say, despite him feeling puney, he still woke looking for Piper!
