Timing is Everything

Friday night, or actually early Saturday morning, Caleb came
down with a stomach bug. He got sick for about 3 hours straight,
but after that passed, he just seemed to feel really bad. All day
Saturday he laid around sipping Ginger Ale, eating ice chips,
and enjoying numerous Popsicles. He ran a low fever all day,
but other than that didn't have any other symptoms.



However, Sunday he woke up a new man and was in the best
mood. (I'm sure sleeping 13 hours straight had something to do
with that.) While he didn't eat hardly at all Sunday, he talked our
ears off and played most of the day. We joked that he had to
make up for all the words he missed saying on Saturday. We
thought we were in the clear...


Unfortunately, when he woke up this morning it was very
apparent by the look of his eyes that he was not himself.
He laid around for about an hour before getting sick again.
Luckily it was just that one time, and since then he has
napped and kept his Ginger Ale, Popsicles, and toast
down. We have set a record for the most Disney and Nick Jr
shows watched in one day, and spent a lot of time cuddling
on our towel covered couch. While I HATE seeing my little
man sick, I am so thankful that at least he is getting this now
and not next weekend. I can't imagine not being with him
while he sick, or having a newborn at home for this. Now it's
time to get out the bleach and Lysol!
