Jake got really sick Saturday night and was sick most of Sunday. He kept throwing up, couldn't keep anything down, had dry heaves on an empty stomach. I did a LOT of bed making and laundry on Saturday night. The worst part was, we were at my mom's to take care of the dogs because mom had gone to North Carolina for the weekend to see her friend. It was not fun. (But at least the first time he threw up -- ALL the food he'd been eating all day -- he was outside on the porch and all I had to do was take buckets of water out there and throw them on the puke to clean it up.)
Jake finally started feeling better on Sunday afternoon, after I'd made him stay laying down all day until I knew he was ok. He would argue with me about it but then fall asleep for hours at a time. We had a lot of arguments about sipping versus guzzling water, but he finally got the taking sips thing. I had Lou bring us over some KFC, with enough for Mom and Kathy when they felt like eating -- cooking after a 7 hour drive isn't fun, you know. And I wanted mashed potatoes for Jake since he seemed to be keeping down crackers and water. Mom got home at like 7 p.m. on Sunday, and Jake immediately started asking if he could spend the night. Know what he said? "But mom, I've been ALL DAY with you!" (thanks, that makes me feel really good.) (He also randomly looked at me and said "Your hair looks funny like that." Well you know it's not like I haven't TAKEN A SHOWER all day because I've been CLEANING UP YOUR PUKE! But whatever. heh.) Once mom was convinced that Jake wouldn't be puking any more (and I really hope he didn't), she said he could stay, and I left at 9.
And then I watched my Grey's Anatomy DVD until midnight. I had been laying down most of the day and was too awake to sleep. And now I'm too tired to work, but here I am. heh.

Oh how I hate that type of sickness. Last fall and winter my kids somehow went through that kind of sickness 6 times, yeah I am pretty much dreading this fall and winter.
Hope he is 100% better now sweetie and let me know about that article :)
