I don't know how many of you have heard the term, "diarrhea of the mouth", in reference to someone who seemingly never shuts up, but right now I wish Tyler had diarrhea of the mouth rather than the other kind we've been dealing with.
I feel bad for the poor kid because I know it's gotta be hard on his little body, and everybody hates having the trots once, let alone for several days. It seems like he's either on the potty, in a diaper, which he normally doesn't need during the day, or in the shower after the diaper hasn't quite managed to contain the outward manifestation of the war that's raging inside my little boy's intestines. Plus, he seems to feel pretty good other than that. Maybe a little lethargic, but who wouldn't be after practically pooping for several days straight? Because he feels mostly fine, he can't understand why he should have to spend all his "free" time resting quietly in bed reading or playing his handheld videogames. He wants to be up and about rough-housing with Dad, playing around on the computer, going to school, and all the other things he normally gets to do. We've tried to explain it a number of different ways, but it doesn't really seem to be sinking in. Unfortunately, I think this is one of those things that most, if not all kids, have to just figure out for themselves as they get older; I know I did. THIS SUCKS!!!
