Home this morning with a sick kid. The Boy woke up at 4:30 this morning and promptly expelled the last remnants of dinner all over his bed (ah, the joy and glamour of parenthood). Check the forehead, he's a little hot (100.5ยบ), throat's sore, etc. Clean up in Aisle 1, you wish, bring a sponge...
When your child is sick, it helps snap everything into focus. While I'm certain this is a minor stomach bug no doubt picked up at school (especially considering a girl in his class was out yesterday for the same type of illness), there's always a nagging little doubt in the back of your skull when your kid is sick. Oh, sure, part of the worry stems from the mundane, the myriad calls to make and people to alert (to the school for the sick call, to the neighbor to bring BabyGirl G to school, etc.); but there's always that little voice that reminds you of all the other possibilities, no matter how unlikely.
Get better soon, buddy, so daddy can breathe again...
That is all.

Here's to hoping Progeny #1 feels better. My Progeny was home yesterday. She's feeling much better today and went to school. Almost the same symptoms, too. There's definitely something going 'round . . .
Note to self: self, stop at the local Medical Supply Store & Lobster-roll Shack and pick up an extra-large box of surgical masks.

My two keep passing the same nastyness back and forth. I've been doing my best to lysol the ever loving crap out of the house and to keep them separated.
Now I have it.
I hope he feels better real soon, Jay!
Thanks Brad and Epi.
He *seems* fine - his demeanor is fine, his energy level is normal.
It's just that any time he ingests anything, it comes right back up... :(
I'm sure it will pass quickly and he'll be back to eating me out of house and home shortly...
J-
check the throat for white spots,
believe it or not, vomiting can actually be caused by strep throat

Best wishes to the little kiddo.
B,
White spots ALLLLL over the throat. He sees the pedi tomorrow...
Thanks everyone. He'll be fine (I hope) once we pump him full 'o' antibiotics...
