Quarantine . . .

So, the last few days Jackson and Michael have been sick with some kind of stomach bug. Jackson first started out on Saturday, throwing up. It was weird, he'd vomit and then act as though he was just fine for a good eight hours and then vomit again. He never throws up unless he has an ear infection, so after waiting till Monday morning to make sure it wasn't some kind of fluke, I took him to the doctor. Which was an interesting experience in and of itself, because our usual doctor was booked and we had to go to someone I have never been to. But that's a whole different story.
Anyway, we came home none the wiser. The doctor told us that Jackson had some fluid behind one ear drum, and that it might be making him nauseated. He suggested some decongestant to help drain the fluid and then added that it might also be a weird G.I. bug that was going around. He talked for a few minutes and then out of nowhere, brought up that his second molars might be coming in and that sometimes it makes children sick too. What kind of diagnosis is that? Gosh, I guessed all of that myself, before we even went! The only thing that it proved was that he didn't have an ear infection! Well I guess it doesn't matter, because Michael came down with a G.I. bug late Monday morning and Jackson started having some severe diarrhea as well as vomiting. I've got them both on the BRAT(bananas, rice, apple sauce, and toast) diet. Not too tasty, but at least it works. Jackson has a hard time keeping fluid down if he drinks anything more than a small sip, and he is starting to worry me. If any of you have ideas or suggestions, I could use them.
Other than that, there isn't much else going on around here. Bonus time has ended at Clinique, and we are now into another event called Beauty Week (in which we do a million makeovers to get clients back to the counter after Gift). Michael is going back to work tomorrow, and Jackson is going to start a play date/preschool with some friends on Thursday granted that he is feeling better by then. My mom is taking the day off on Thursday as well to work on Jack's Halloween costume with me. I'm excited to get going on it because Halloween is just around the corner.
Anyway, I hope you are all well and having a wonderful week. Don't forget to leave you're suggestions on what might be wrong with Jack and some remedies that you suggest.
