Food poisoning and running nappies

Lara and I had food poisoning on Saturday night (I won't be having smoked salmon for a long time!). Lara barely touched the salmon (if she had any it would be the smallest bite), but still vomitted all night, I was worse with diarrhoea as well. Simon looked after us and didn't get any sleep either. We abandoned our original plan to go to the zoo and recuperated at home on Sunday. The vomitting must have taken a lot out of Lara. She wasn't too happy in daycare on Tuesday and Wednesday, crying, not participating and looking tired.

At about the same time, Sam was teething and therefore not a happy chappy either. He had increasingly running nappies and on-and-off nappy rash. He also started to get up twice a night (1am and 5am), usually because he had done a poo and needed change/feed. During the day, he whinged more and needed more cuddles. I had to pick Sam up from daycare early (2pm as supposed to 5pm) because he had very running poo. I took him to see a doctor that night and collected stool samples for tests on Thursday. After putting Sam on lactose-free formula and no purred fruit from Wednesday night, his bowel movement looks to be back to normal.

Needless to say, I'm exhausted and can't wait for the weekend to come.
