Trying Simple Life in Taiwan

there is a virus, the enterovirus 71, that is going around. Supposedly it affects mainly children under age 5yr, but a number of elementary and jr. high kids have gotten it AND it mainly affects males, though no one knows why.

Taiwan's CDC has now labeled it an epidemic after 8 deaths and over 200 cases since April.........ds3 had a fever last night, but slept well without any medicine, but close to daybreak started vomitting. He is doing much better. I gave him some medicine for his headache and tummy tune up from www.beeyoutiful.com  for intestinal health (of course then he was passing gas that stunk up the house).

He went out to play ball this afternoon, but dh sent him home early (he had to use the bathroom). It is quiet downstairs, so he is probably sleeping.

Anyway, baby is due the 25th, so we need to make sure he is healthy and everyone is doing well by the time baby comes.......so some prayers would be great!
