Sickness


This was Owen this morning watching Sesame Street while eating breakfast. He didn't eat much, and I guess his tummy wasn't feeling too good because about 20 minutes later, it all came back up. :( After he emptied his belly he seemed to be just fine.

I cleaned up the mess and got us packed up and we headed home to see Ben. Owen seemed to be back to normal and even drank some water on the drive home, but before he was even finished eating lunch when we got home, lunch ended up on his tray. Yuck. A call to the pediatrician verified our only suspicion - he had picked up a stomach bug. She said no food or drink for the next 4 hours which worked out well since it was over his nap time.

When he woke up he had some juice (he always rejects Pedialyte and Gatorade) and he ate some dry Cheerios and a piece of toast. Later for dinner he had water, crackers and more Cheerios. He made it through the late afternoon, evening, and overnight without getting sick again and is back to his normal peppy self. Hopefully he won't get sick again for a long time because it's never any fun.
