How is everyone doing?

We're fine now, but our past weekend was not too good.  Everyone knows that Ryley came home form NS with a GI virus, it took about a week for his rash to go away, which was a week ago.  Then on Friday I came down with the flu at about 3am and Ryley's diarrhea came back with vomiting.  Grandma picked Ryley up at 11:30 and spent the day with him (in hind sight not a good thing).  I was feeling great on Saturday, did my house cleaning and had friends down for supper and to watch the hockey game.  While we were watching the game I had a plate of brownies sitting on the coffee table.  Pepper took one and no one saw him until he was finishing the little bit.  We all hope the brownie was worth it because that night and Sunday Pepper was not in vary good shape.  I had seen this many time working for the Vet and I didn't think Pepper would make it.  Then to top the week off Ron also got the flu before we when to bed on Saturday.  Ron had diarrhea and vomiting which lasted through out the night; what a mess the tub was in.  Ron spent Sunday in bed, Pepper spent it on the kitchen floor and Ryley still had diarrhea.  I didn't have a very good day.

Monday, thankfully, was a new week.  Ron and Pepper were both better, Ryley still has diarrhea.  We took Ryley to the walk-in clinic; same one we use a week an half before.  The doctor thinks that we should now try lactose free milk for a couple of days.  We may just do that.  Ryley had to have a bath yesterday due to diarrhea.  I even had to change a top.

Ron is now home for the next 3 months for his parental leave, which he has been looking very much forward to.  Not the best way to start it.  I've sort of gone back to work.  My office doesn't have a full time job for me at the office so I'm working 20 hours from home.  I'll try to get another office so I can have full time hours. 

As it's about 7am I had better start working, I'll add some pictures.
Anyone how doesn't want to be on the e-mail list let me know.

Everyone have a good day.
