Sick Kid

At 0200 this morning, Lego Man woke me up to tell me his tummy didn't feel good. He thought he might have been hungry. Then he said he thinks he's going to throw up. I let him lay in bed with me, hoping it would go away. Big mistake. He leaned over the side of my bed and threw up all over everywhere and proceeded to stay there while still vomiting. Great. I brought him in the bathroom and he stayed their while I started to clean up the mess. Then I got sick from it. I usually have a strong stomach, but not this time. He wanted to take a shower and get cleaned up. After he got out I put him back to bed and continued to clean up the mess. Clean sheets and blankets put back on my bed. Started laundry, then cleaned the bathroom real quick. I finally went back to bed around 0330 and fell asleep around 0400. 0500, "Mom I'm getting sick again." Great. Go into his room and he is leaning over his bed vomiting. Completely missing the bucket. Lego Man is lazy and didn't want to go into the bathroom. I helped him in to the bathroom and clean up his room. Then I put him back to bed. He starts playing video games. He wanted to know if it was time to get up. Hell No! Again, I clean the bathroom and start another load of laundry. Back to bed at 0600. 0700, mom I'm sick again. This time we both stayed up. I gave up! He has been in my bed ever since. He seems to bounce back after he gets sick for a little while. Then it starts all over again. This is how are whole day has been. Luckily for him, it has been a three hours without him throwing up. Just an upset stomach. Then again the poor guy hasn't eaten anything since last night. When he's sick he refuses to eat. Great. I have kept him hydrated with Gatorade, just nothing of any substance. The worst part of him being sick is he hasn't been able to keep his meds down and has been bouncing off the walls. The type of medicine he takes you can't stop cold turkey, so, we have had to try giving them to him. I am hoping he can keep them down tonight. It will help him sleep. Now my stomach is starting to feel it. I just hope it's the lack of sleep and nothing else. I was hoping to get the last of the Christmas shopping done today (only 3 presents left to go) and bake cookies with the kiddies tomorrow. New plan....bake cookies on Sunday. I want to bring cookies to the Marines at the Recruiting office on Monday. Monday finish Christmas shopping. Keeping my fingers crossed no one else gets the flu. dyzgoneby
