Stomach Bug

Ford woke up at 5:30 on Monday morning throwing up. For the next couple of hours, he pretty much threw up on everything that could be laundered. Poor buddy couldn't even drink water without throwing up.

I called our doctor's office to see what our plan of action needed to be. No food. Tiny amounts of liquid every ten minutes as long as he could tolerate it. If you've ever dealt with this, you know the drill. Oh, and the big one...he's contagious until he's symptom free for 24 hours. Bummer. That meant no school on Monday or bible study today (since he still had symptoms yesterday afternoon). Ford gets a little stir crazy when he can't leave the house.

I guess we're pretty lucky that we've made it almost two and a half years without Ford getting a stomach virus. After the initial throwing up and ten loads of laundry, it wasn't that bad. Ford is calmer when he's sick and he also took a nap on Monday and Tuesday. I think he's feeling better because I can hear him not taking a nap today. Oh, and this picture was taken yesterday afternoon and he doesn't look sick at all!
