I really feel for you all. I was warned about bugs when my daughter started at Nursery. On Christmas Eve, she woke crying about tummy ache. Then came the "vomiting from both ends". Luckily, I didn't catch it. Christmas was a little different that year. I can't imagine having 4 children, including a new born, and having tummy bugs. I'll keep you all in my prayers tonight and hope this can be cured quickly.
We’ve all had the flu (actually influenza) this last week and omg it’s been so hard. My oldest 2 are finally almost better at day 8, my 2.5 year old still has a pretty rough cough at day 7. I was running a 104 fever for 24 hours. My poor 4 month old started running a fever today. I just want the sickness to end.
I’m from louisiana and SOO many people I know including me have had this stomach bug over the last 2 weeks. The hardest part for me was the fever too! Crazy! Hope everyone feels better soon!❤️
I just got over the worst flu I’ve had in a while, similar to Covid symptoms (difficulty breathing, cough, sore throat, etc).. I got it from my work, and it makes my heart ache to think my little preschoolers had the same thing cause it was ROUGH I hope you’re all feeling 100% better soon!
We’re just getting over the flu in our house and two of our kiddos had GI symptoms as well, plus those crazy high fevers! So miserable! So sorry you guys are dealing with a bug too ♥️
I'm so sorry that you guys are sick. The stomach virus that's going around here in Indiana is a seriously bad one. I've had it for 3 weeks now. It's so much worse 'for me anyway" I feel ten times worse now than I ever did either time I had Covid. I'll be praying for you guys 🙏 get feeling better. Love From your Indiana Friend.
I feel So sorry for all of you being sick! The same thing happened to me when my children was little how hard it was for me all four of the children getting sick at the same time! Very hard I feel your pain! You are such a Wonderful Family! I Love you all by next week you all will be back to normal! Prayers going out for All of you! 🙏
Two good recipes for stomach bug: 1. Finely grated raw apple (no skin, grated into almost a liquid) and mashed banana 1:1 - the pectin and banana reduce diarrhea. This is what my mother gave me when I was little. 2. Moro carrot soup. Works almost like a mild antibiotic, I eat it every time. Cook carrots for 90min, add a little bit of salt and puree the soup. Maybe a tiny splash of oil. The long cooking time develops oligosaccharides which have a positive effect on the intestinal flora. Hope this helps!
My husband 79 and I 67 are just getting over a bad cold.Its miserable even when you are old,but I remember when my kids were little and were sick that’s the worst.Praying y’all feel better soon.
Before the kids were sick. Have you thought about what kind of tattoo you will get that represents Faye? If so what is it??? ❤❤❤❤❤❤ I LOVE watching you guys. Hope the kids will feel better soon.
Hope everyone feels better soon. 2/3 of my daughters had RSV and my 18 mth old was hospitalized over night it was so bad. She was lethargic and you could see the retractions when she breathed. It was all October my girls were sick and both were doing albuterol / pulmicort nebulizer treatments every 4 hrs.. and antibiotics and 5 trips to the Dr office. They are finally feeling better.. Feel better guys. Love watching your channel.
I currently work a customer service job and I heard today that there is a stomach bug going around. I already know someone that has it and I’m def going ti be playing it safe and keeping hand sanitizer on hand and I’m thinking of starting to put a mask again at least during the flu season . I hope you guys get better.
My son loved Bear in the big blue house! We didn't have cable but he saw it in the motel during our vacation so we had to buy DVDs of it. He called it big house Bear😂 Hope all of you are doing better now.
Oh I'm so sorry the kids are sick again,,,, you're doing a great job Mom,,, and so proud of faith that she found her voice she's growing so quickly,,,💞
From what I heard, they are no longer contagious after 24 hours with no fever. If it was me, I would use the disinfectant wipes on anything they touch or have them do it after they play with something!! Even if it’s not 100%, it’s better than nothing! Hope you all feel better soon
Typically 48 hours after symptoms stop you are less contagious. Although the stomach virus can live for weeks on surfaces. I give myself a full month before being “clear” when it goes around. It’s so bad. 😳
I clean whatever they touch starting from the onset of symptoms. I try to limit all the places they go. If you wait, all those germs are just being spread, so it’s not at effective.
Rachelle next time you go to Walmart buy some Hemp Tattoo enhancing body moisturizer. It's the very best hand lotion that I have ever had! It's not expensive either! Love watching your videos❣God bless you and your family🙏❤
Sadly my family had the stomach bug as well but my kids r homeschooled so I think we may have gotten it from me from my work :( hope y'all heal up quickly! Stomach bugs r no fun at all!
My daughter and I have been fighting something too. But she’s little so I’m trying so hard to prevent RSV. Right now it’s just congestion and cough but she’s been okay. This time of year is the worstttt. Luckily my husband can’t get sick 😂 he’s deployed somewhere in the ocean
If you and Justin take spoonful of honey with cinnamon can help to keep you well. Also keep a thing of wipes and a bottle of half peroxide , half water and wipe toys and surfaces. Much less toxic and kid safe than chemical cleaners
Being to hygienic can also cause problems! My mom is a nurse and she almost lost a thumb because she has to wash her hands so much while at work. We also have good bacteria and not only in our gut also on our skin and they NEED to be there for our protection!
So sorry you guys are sick. Our kiddos have been sick the last couple of days with fever, my daughter throwing up, needing her nebulizer (she was a preemie), my son came down with it today. I HATE seeing them so sick :( Also hoping I don't get it because I'm 12 weeks pregnant and can't really take anything but tylenol. I think junk is just going around everywhere this time of year. Hope everyone is on the mend soon! Hope you can keep Faye safe from it. I understand the fear of brand new babies getting sick. Everyone got the flu when my son was about a month and a half old. I was terrified! He even came down with it (tested positive for it at the doctor's), but his symptoms were extremely mild and only lasted a day, thankfully. I'm thinking it was the antibodies my body had built up in my breastmilk helped him fight it off so well.
Flu B and Norovirus both making the rounds along with RSV. I think all that masking has kind of ruined our natural immunities to some of the typical fall illnesses and now everyone is getting everything all at once. Feel better Swannie family!
Personally I let my kids have fevers - within reason. I’ll medicate if they get above like 103. Anything under I let it go. Fevers are what kills the illness from within. My kids have been by and far less sick over the years then my friends kids who medicate every sickness. I go by how they’re feeling, acting, eating, drinking and bathrooming on whether to take them to the Dr. My kids are now 20, 18, 16 and 8 yo. I also use a non toxic non aerosol plant based germ killer. Lysol and bleach are not good for lungs ect. Hugs. Sickness is no fun.
I usually clean a little bit a few days after they get sick to keep germs at bay so they don’t get sick worse and then when fever breaks I do a full on clean and disinfected spray
Oh Rachelle, No! I hope that everyone is well soon. I'm sorry. When Faye was born, I thought Ariel, would be a good name. Nope. Faye is perfect. Seriously, I really am sorry. Love you guys.
The toys especially i would wash multiple times. I teach preschool and especially when there is a sickness going around we wash everything. Usually with bleach but just be sure to let them fully dry before giving them back. You would be surprised how many people make that mistake
I’m so sorry pray that everyone gets better soon My 15 Son and I have been really sick for 2 weeks My 11 month old GrandSon has Covid for the 3rd time I’m like You situations like these make Me cry
It seems like everyone has been sick, I will tell you when kids go to school they just bring home all those bugs. I am a big Lysol user. I don't have kids at home anymore but grand kids in and out of my house.
We have just come out of winter here in Australia and it was almost 5 months of constant illnesses, coughs, colds, rsv, gastro. My poor kiddos copped it after being cooped up for 2 years of quarrantine and restrictions.
My mom last Saturday. After our walk at vons. Saying you plugged up. Yep congested. Took theraflu . And Wednesday, my nose was yucky. And my younger brother got me DayQuil and NyQuil
I usually just do a spot clean or a big touch point clean like what's touched frequently thru the day like you do until we get better then I do more of a clean later .
Viruses only last on surfaces for a limited time so unless you’re regularly cleaning/sanitising then there’s not much point doing a deep clean once everyone is better! :-)
But fever is good. It fights the infection. Poor babies. Hope all feel better soon. I just had a tummy virus from the other end. Drains so much out of a person. But it is the world we are in. Hugs
I rushed my 1 year old old girl to the e.r 4 days ago. She was sick gor 2 days with a low grade fever theu said it was a virus/stomach. Her fever spiked to 104.5 and rising i almost fainted! She has a double ear infection and ruptured drum. She was in so much pain on day 2 of her amox she would roll on the floor beligerantly screaming in pain and all i could do is cry with her as the pediatrician said it would take about 3 days of the amox and motrin to really help. Thank god she is doing better. Now me and my son are sick. Hope everyone feels better, god bless!
Cool bath, blood temperature and a fan will bring down temperature also child pain relief... Keep pushing fluids. 2 litres Lemonade and 1 tblsp honey give them 1 tsp every 10 minutes if they can't keep fluids down
I know it seems uncomfortable but make sure when they have fever they have light clothes on and no blanket cause it'll make them hotter if they are covered
Health scientist & advanced first aider here. Julie's comment is correct, you need to keep kids with fevers cool & try to keep their fevers down. Fevers can be dangerous, affect the brain & cause febrile convultions (a type of seizure) in children. And when it hits 102, that's when it becomes even more dangerous. Sweating out the fever doesn't automatically result in a quicker recovery.
@littleangel4780 you can disagree if you want to but it doesn't make your reasoning correct sorry. You can overheat and kill or give brain damage to your kid
I really feel for you all. I was warned about bugs when my daughter started at Nursery. On Christmas Eve, she woke crying about tummy ache. Then came the "vomiting from both ends". Luckily, I didn't catch it. Christmas was a little different that year.

Wow baby Faye already trying to talk! So adorable!!
I just got over the worst flu I’ve had in a while, similar to Covid symptoms (difficulty breathing, cough, sore throat, etc).. I got it from my work, and it makes my heart ache to think my little preschoolers had the same thing cause it was ROUGH
I hope you’re all feeling 100% better soon!
I had the flu recently as well and it lasted TWO WEEKS
I'm so sorry you guys aren't feeling well. It's good to have you back.
We’re just getting over the flu in our house and two of our kiddos had GI symptoms as well, plus those crazy high fevers! So miserable! So sorry you guys are dealing with a bug too ♥️
Sending hugs and prayers that everyone recovers quickly and completely. It’s so hard when your babies are sick.
Hope you guys feel better soon ❤️🙏
The flu has been circulating here like crazy accompanied with strep. I hope she feels better quickly and no one else gets it!
Bear in the Big Blue House was one of my son's favs too. I was tickled to see it on Disney+ & have enjoyed watching many episodes. Take care
I'm so sorry that you guys are sick. The stomach virus that's going around here in Indiana is a seriously bad one. I've had it for 3 weeks now.

Wear a mask too please. I do on campus. If I go through bathroom I use the sanitizer outside. use the one I have after I get out of there.
If it’s norovirus, hand sanitizer doesn’t kill it. Lots of hand washing with soap and water!!!
My son loved Bear in the big blue house! We didn't have cable but he saw it in the motel during our vacation so we had to buy DVDs of it. He called it big house Bear😂 Hope all of you are doing better now.
Sending prayers 🙏 ❤ for the family
Oh I'm so sorry the kids are sick again,,,, you're doing a great job Mom,,, and so proud of faith that she found her voice she's growing so quickly,,,💞
Get better very soon. It's supposed to be a bad winter for sickness this year. Sending up prayers. Go Miss Faye go!!!
Hello from the UK we have a stomach bug doing it’s round here as well so crazy how we all experience the same
Oh no! I'm so sorry. I hope you all feel better quickly!!! ❤
🙏🙏🙏
Hope everyone feels better soon!

You are such a amazing Mom... i love the respect from and to your children....
Praying that it won't go through your whole family. Love and Hugs to all of you!!
Sadly it will run thru the house that's the bad part.
I clean whatever they touch starting from the onset of symptoms. I try to limit all the places they go. If you wait, all those germs are just being spread, so it’s not at effective.
Rachelle next time you go to Walmart buy some Hemp Tattoo enhancing body moisturizer. It's the very best hand lotion that I have ever had! It's not expensive either! Love watching your videos❣God bless you and your family🙏❤
Sadly my family had the stomach bug as well but my kids r homeschooled so I think we may have gotten it from me from my work :( hope y'all heal up quickly! Stomach bugs r no fun at all!
I will pray for you all 🤒🙏 hope you get better soon sweet pea 💕 Rachel hang in there they grow so fast 💖

Sending you & your beautiful family prayer's of health & wellness. It's a tough one when our little ones are sickly. Your one tough/ super Momma 💕.
I’m so sorry 😢. We’re finally starting to come out of a full week down from RSV with our kids. It’s so rough.
At least this sickness will be gone by thanksgiving (hopefully) hoping for a speedy recovery for Emma and that everyone else doesn’t catch it
I loved Bear in the Big Blue House when I was a kid! I hope everyone feels better soon!
Hope everyone feels better soon, so sad when little ones are sick.
We had all these symptoms I thought for sure stomach flu or virus but it turned out to be the actual flu 😭
If you and Justin take spoonful of honey with cinnamon can help to keep you well. Also keep a thing of wipes and a bottle of half peroxide , half water and wipe toys and surfaces. Much less toxic and kid safe than chemical cleaners
I loved to see that someone else stirs there coffee with whatever😊
The stomach bug is going around socal so bad :( our church got hit the past week and more and more people I know are getting it
I’m so sorry. You are such an amazing beautiful mom ❤❤❤
BEAR IN THE BIG BLUE HOUSE, IS SO AMAZING!!! I love it so much and was so excited to see it’s on Disney+! ❤❤❤❤❤
I would hold off until everyone is fever free for 24 hours before majorly disinfecting the house…hopefully that is soon!!
Mine were the same the good thing is their immune system works great by the time they are in elementary school mine were very rarely sick
Being to hygienic can also cause problems! My mom is a nurse and she almost lost a thumb because she has to wash her hands so much while at work. We also have good bacteria and not only in our gut also on our skin and they NEED to be there for our protection!
Wow I pray the 3 kiddos feel better real soon
Love your family ❤❤❤❤❤❤
🙏🙏🙏🙏
Praying for you all

Praying for you all
Hope everyone feels better soon 😢😢😢
Praying for your family
remember to dip their toothbrushes in alcohol everytime they use them. That helps too.
Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Zinc, and Quercetin. Been taking these daily since 2020 and haven't been sick once.
I hope the kids feel better soon and that you and Justin don't get it!!
i hope u guys feel better
You certainly have your hands full. It's been a while but my daughters doctor advised when the fever breaks as the best time to clean it all up.
It will all be fine but make sure it’s not COVID instead of flu. You are super mom!
Bear in the big blue house was my all time favourite..I almost cried when I saw Disney had it
Personally I let my kids have fevers - within reason. I’ll medicate if they get above like 103. Anything under I let it go. Fevers are what kills the illness from within.

Popsicles, freezies, etc. are great for pushing fluids.
Yeah they now have Gatorade popsicles they're good,,,,,
I usually clean a little bit a few days after they get sick to keep germs at bay so they don’t get sick worse and then when fever breaks I do a full on clean and disinfected spray
Omgosh hope ye all feel better soon xx
Don’t forget to get the kids new toothbrushes after being sick
Oh Rachelle, No! I hope that everyone is well soon. I'm sorry. When Faye was born, I thought Ariel, would be a good name. Nope. Faye is perfect. Seriously, I really am sorry. Love you guys.
A suggestion: any toys that can be immersed in water can be put through a dishwasher cycle for disinfection.
The toys especially i would wash multiple times. I teach preschool and especially when there is a sickness going around we wash everything. Usually with bleach but just be sure to let them fully dry before giving them back. You would be surprised how many people make that mistake
We switch toothbrushes when we’re ALL better. I wash sheets basically everyday when they’re sick.
I’m so sorry pray that everyone gets better soon My 15 Son and I have been really sick for 2 weeks My 11 month old GrandSon has Covid for the 3rd time I’m like You situations like these make Me cry
I hope you are all well. I miss seeing you and the children.
I disinfect throughout from the first kiddo to the third. Then when it’s is hopefully gone I do it one last time.
When my kids were little I never disinfected everything other then washing bedding and regular cleaning and my kids were rarely sick.
It seems like everyone has been sick, I will tell you when kids go to school they just bring home all those bugs. I am a big Lysol user. I don't have kids at home anymore but grand kids in and out of my house.
We have just come out of winter here in Australia and it was almost 5 months of constant illnesses, coughs, colds, rsv, gastro. My poor kiddos copped it after being cooped up for 2 years of quarrantine and restrictions.
I was at the preschool last Wednesday. And a couple in the sunshine room were coughing. Mom says if someone is coughs put clothes in wash and shower
Aww cold and flu and parents are sending kids ❤I’m getting over one not fun
My mom last Saturday. After our walk at vons. Saying you plugged up. Yep congested. Took theraflu . And Wednesday, my nose was yucky. And my younger brother got me DayQuil and NyQuil
I usually just do a spot clean or a big touch point clean like what's touched frequently thru the day like you do until we get better then I do more of a clean later .
Viruses only last on surfaces for a limited time so unless you’re regularly cleaning/sanitising then there’s not much point doing a deep clean once everyone is better! :-)
Norovirus can last on surfaces for weeks…they can last in high and low temps as well. Only thing that kills it is bleach
Yes 👍
I do it through the whole sickness but also I think that Wears me out to the point where I get sick
I think of it like this, would you rather just sit in sickness or clean and help prevent anyone else from getting it?
Yesss I realized they put it on Disney+ too my baby loves it
Hope Emma gets well son.
I would clean everything she touches on a daily basis so give her a few toys,.
Poor Emma, that is the worst. You get hungry and dehydrated and nothing will stay down😣 I hope she's doing better, and I hope no one else got sick!
Hope you all feel better
Can you give motrin and tylenol together to beat aches and fever?
But fever is good. It fights the infection. Poor babies. Hope all feel better soon. I just had a tummy virus from the other end. Drains so much out of a person. But it is the world we are in. Hugs
I rushed my 1 year old old girl to the e.r 4 days ago. She was sick gor 2 days with a low grade fever theu said it was a virus/stomach. Her fever spiked to 104.5 and rising i almost fainted! She has a double ear infection and ruptured drum.

I have the stomach flu as well it sucks.

I disagree. Sweating out the fever and sick germs makes for a much quicker recovery.
We just got over a sickness too 🙌🏼 it seems like everyone is sick right now.
😢😢😢😢 i really hope your daughter feels better soon . That’s why I don’t like food in schools
❤❤🙏🏻
Where do you get that thermometer from I looked at Walmart can't seem to find one like that
