Not nice

So DS puked this early-morning. (2:40am) There's been a virus going on in my family. First DD had it about a week ago. Then DH, MIL, and SIL got it. Eek. They just came back from a trip together and Gro has it too. He puked up as well and went to the doctors yesterday morning. Welp, now DS has it too! I'm worried as he's only 3-months old. I called the advice nurse early this morning and she let me know that I needn't rush to the hospital and since I know of this virus circulating around the family just watch over him.

Speaking of sicknesses, um, Kaiser has a TB scare. Not nice. I get a call 3-days ago from my children's pediatrician telling me that DH, DS and I need to go in for a TB test. What?! Turns out that some nurse had active TB while working at the maternity ward from March thru August and anyone that stayed overnight could've possibly contracted it. Grrr. Not nice. My BIL and sis were worried for their son, as he's 3yo, because they visited us late in the hours. I was reassured by the Doc that they're fine and that the sick nurse began work at 11pm and if the TB lingered around the hospital it would've been for a couple or few hours after the nurse left, which is plenty far from when they came to visit. Though, if they wanted to get checked up Kaiser would do it for free. So far DH, DS and I have gotten a TB shot and it seems that all looks fine to us by the naked eye. We're going back to the hospital this morning to get it checked. In addition, DS had to get a chest exam too. Grrr. Again, not nice. He's young so he had to do the extra test. All the newborns did. They strapped him into this contraption that he had to be sitting up-right for and then encased in a shield. I was not happy. He was crying the entire time. There were other babies waiting too and I heard that the Radiology dept was quite busy the day before. Oh man. Kaiser's in for some real poo poo. Whether or not the TB nurse knew or didn't know she had active TB, Kaiser didn't do a good job of finding out. At least they're acting quick and getting everyone checked. Doc said that all appts had to be canceled to see everyone about this TB issue. She was probably bracing herself for many unhappy, and possibly angry, parents. On the bright side, DS gained another lb w/i a month! heh. Big baby. He's got the rolls to prove it. To date he's about 15-1/2 lbs.
