Round 2 of the Plague

4 a.m. this morning was the beginning of a VERY long day for That Other Kid. He started vomiting at 4 a.m. and vomited every 30 minutes to 1 hour until 7:30 p.m. Yes, that's 15 1/2 hours of vomit!! We went to the doctor and he was given a suppository to try to prevent dehydration and keep him from vomiting. I gave it to him at 6 p.m. He vomited again at 6:30 and then again at 7:00. He finally fell asleep at 7:30, and he's been asleep now for 2 1/2 hours and he hasn't vomited now for 3 hours. 3 glorious hours of NO vomit!!.

He keeps moving around now (he's asleep on the couch) so I'm guessing he's about to wake up....But I managed to get the laundry folded and put away, which is good since he puked on almost all of his clothes and a good bunch of mine!!

Hope you avoid the plague in your house. I guess I've got 2 more rounds...with me and That Kid.

Oh, Ann, I'm so sorry. That is utterly miserable. I think there are very few things in life as miserable as stomach viruses. Praise God for washers and dryers!

How's "that Kid"?
