The Longest day
I think I should just put a sign on C's bed that says "Puke Here" because that's what he does. C has been puking off and on all day. It started when I went to get him up to get going for the day. He said good morning, got quiet, and started puking. Then he puked more in the hallway while I was getting laundry going. The other times I got him to the bathroom in time. FFWD to lunch time. He hadn't puked in almost 4 hours, and he'd been holding down a little gatorade and saltines. So, I asked him if he wanted some applesauce or chicken noodle--b/c he kept asking for food. When he was finished, I was cleaning up the applesauce, and I hear him go upstairs. I ask him what he's doing. He says he's going to lay down. I ask him lots more questions, which he doesn't answer which means he's probably going to throw up. By the time I get up there, he's starting the heaves. Then pukes right in the center of his bed and all over himself-a lot. Now 2 more loads of laundry after the other 2 loads I've already done today plus the gazillion I did yesterday and Tuesday. While I was stripping his bed I told him to stay in the bathtub (just dry, but to contain any more puking). I make it back upstairs, and the bathroom doesn't smell like puke, but poop. I asked him if he'd pooped his pants--nope. I'd asked him several times today b/c I kept getting a whiff. Everytime I checked...nothing. Well this time, there was something. He must have had a wet toot earlier and not told me, so back down to the laundry. I'm officially calling it the flu!
