This Stinks

I called Sophie's doctor last night after yet another round of puking, which has been going on now since Monday. He listened to her symptoms and gave a diagnosis of rotavirus. So I checked it out online and it said that it would cause...

fever-- Check
nausea and vomiting-- Check
frequent, watery diarrhea--double check
cough--check
runny nose--check
abdominal cramping-- not sure

So what stinks, as my title declares? Rotavirus stinks. Literally. At times the whole house just smells like poop or puke. Nice. Luckily she does not seem to be getting dehydrated yet, so for now we are just hanging around the house in our pajamas. I'm hoping that any minute now my sense of smell will atrophy and things will seem better until they really are!
