The kids are doing science fair projects this year! Exhausting, but yay!
Adding to the exhaustion: Zach has had an absolutely ridiculous odyssey of diarrhea lately. Diarrhea in the middle of the night, several times a night. Never-ending diarrhea. No-sleep diarrhea. I've taken him to the doctor FOUR TIMES in the past month--twice to the regular pediatrician, twice to urgent care. All they did was give me an Rx for butt cream (poor, chapped little butt!) and mumble something about trying to change his formula (stool sample for rotavirus and/or other nasty infections was negative).
It finally ended on Sunday; I've never been so glad to see a diaper full of normal feces in my life, save for when James did his first BM ever.
Would it be horrible if I let one of them look at slides of Zach's poop under a microscope and draw what they saw (if anything)? I don't think it's a powerful enough microscope to see anything quiiiite as tiny as anything that would cause such havoc. If I'm wrong, the headline will read, "Local Kids Find Giant Virus in Baby Brother's Stool; Mother Held For Questioning."
Don't worry. We'd wear gloves and throw away the slides once we were done. And the junior microscope, and we would probably have to powerwash our kitchen with bleach.
Do they sell hazmat suits at Costco?
