While Jace and Erica were away at their cousins for a sleepover, Tony and I got some time with just Kent and Ryan. We took them to see Puss in Boots and went out for a ginormous ice cream at JCW's. It was so fun just to spend time with the little guys!
Just about one week later it became much less fun. First, we had a sick little Ryan (break my heart).
And then...we had a sick little Kent. The sad thing is that he was so sick, I couldn't even take a picture of him. He caught the stomach flu...again. He had it 3 times in one month. It was awful. The first two times were just for 24 hours, but on his last bout with it, he couldn't stand, or even look straight. His eyes would roll back in his head sometimes and I had to carry him to use the bathroom because he couldn't hold up his own body weight. I was terrified. We took him to the doctor THREE TIMES! It lasted 10 days!! I've never had a baby not be able to eat for 10 days. It wasn't just that he couldn't hold it down. He didn't eat!! My baby lost 10% of his body weight in the first week. I don't even know what he got down to after that. I have a picture of day 8 when he had an upturn for a couple of hours and was smiling so I took a picture of him to send to Daddy who was beside himself across the country worrying about him. Oh it was the WORST!

| See how skinny! |

| You can tell even more when he's by Ryan. Look at his neck! I couldn't even rub his back because my hands would get caught in his ribs. Poor baby! |
I hope this never ever ever ever happens to any of my kids again.
