last week that is. It all started on Monday...Madeline had some nasty nasty diapers (I will leave it at that, use your imagination) that turned into some pretty serious vomitting on Tuesday morning which brought us to the ER Tuesday night with severe dehydration (the Dr.'s words, not mine), IV fluids, meds and a super late night (she and I didn't get home until 2:00am). Then we dealt with the aftermath of that for a few days and just when we thought things were going to get better....I got the stomach flu, a few hours later, Dave got the stomach flu and operations here at Team Engel ceased. Seriously. If it wasn't for Jess, I don't think my children would have been fed Saturday night. No I am not joking. But the kids were great and even though Dave and I felt like we had been run over by trucks, they played nicely, fought minimally and let us get the much needed rest that we so craved (well, as much as a 4 year and 18 month old could I suppose).
Way to ring in my 35th bday, huh?

Oh no! I am sorry to hear that. I just got 'got' your comment you left me (haven't had much blogging time lately!). I did see you guys in the ER as well, but we all looked miserable so I figured I'd jsut leave it alone. I am glad to her Madeleine is doing better. Ava kept making us walk by her so she could see the baby. She acted truly concerned. :0)
Ava is doing fine. She got into medicine at her babysitter's house (though, from what i heard, she didn't ingest anything... she spit it out (it was only one pill). But her babysitter wasn't 100% sure so we took her to the ER just to be safe. They had to do an IV, give her charcoal and everything. it was AWFUL! As you know (The IV part)... truly Awful.
Anwyay, glad you hear all of you are on the mend now!
