Disease of the Month

Ah daycares. If they had commercials, I think they'd be something like:

Great socialization for your child
More than you care to pay
Teletubbies Teletubbies Teletubbies
More illness than you can shake a stick at

Last month was Croup. Now we're looking at Rotavirus, which is all about vomiting and watery poo. Sweet! Though it seems she had it mildly, considering what I've read about it. Basically your kid refuses to eat or drink, which is bad when they're exploding from both ends. So you have to force fluids on them or they like, can't do math or die or something. You know, your garden variety baby plague. I remember her first fever, almost a year ago today. She was 5 months old and it was a nail-biting 101. Heh, Amateurs. The only positive I can pull from this is her immune system is getting some extra fortification. By the age 12, she'll be able to drink from the Ganges River using a rat's asshole as a straw.
