Rotavirus.

Have I ever talked about why I believe so firmly in vaccinations? I won't jump on my soapbox right now, but I just want to express my gratitude for a little vaccine called Rotateq. And amazingly because our little Collin is up to date with his vaccines (specifically got his second scheduled dose of Rotateq this last Monday) that it kept him from getting what his Mom and Dad have had to go through. I kinda wish that they vaccinated adults because this virus has kicked our butts. Yup, Mike woke up this morning and even had to go and get a little IV therapy this afternoon because he could not keep anything inside or down. I'm not trying to gross anyone out, but I would just like to say that this was one of those days when two banos in our home would have been helpful. So hopefully we are through the worse, and thank-heavens for Mike's Mom for helping yesterday and today with our little guy. So off to bed again for some rest, and hopefully we will be back on track soon. So we will stay at home and try our best to not spread our yucky germs to everyone (although it is difficult to spread it unless you have poor hygeine, and I will sat that Avaguard and Purell are our friends!)

  1. I think vaccinations are good for most people but there are those who cannot tolerate the increditants like my kids. Only my oldest had his shots and none of my others kids will ever get them unless they're adults and want to travel outside the US.
