Last Week Sick City

 So I'm pretty sure last week was tough on all of us. Svea had what seemed like a virus that eventually turned into some somewhat worrisome constipation that required an x-ray to prove the doctors concerns.  One mild fever, two throwing-up episodes, and many bouts of diarrhea we finally got to the bottom of what was going on.  I could also stop feeding my child bananas!  Hello!  Who knew diarrhea can be a sign of the opposite problem! I cried when they had to do her x-ray.  They brought me the heavy cape to wear in the xray room while she had her pictures taken, but when I let them know I was pregnant I had to leave the room altogether and leave her with strangers.  Oh, did she cry....not fun!
She did a lot of sleeping, cuddling, and her fair share of whining At times she was just plain miserable.  With some suppositories, prunes, prune juice, and a little Miralax we finally got things moving for her and she is now much better.  Just in time because the day after she started feeling better we had a beautiful day outside and we ran around, she played with a new outdoor water toy that Dan and I got for her, and went for a walk.  That's all coming up this week!
