Blah
It was bound to happen eventually but I was hoping it would happen when Garrett was 37 so I would not have to deal with it. But it didn’t and he got a stomach virus and it is no fun. We went for a walk this morning with Ashley and he was fine. He started coughing after I put him down for his morning nap, then I heard the very distinctive BLECH! I ran up the stairs and he was sitting up in his bed with his breakfast all over him. I put him in the tub since he had it all over him that was about 11am. He was sick all morning, and only wanted to be held.
Branden was at the airport trying to get an earlier flight home from Seattle. So, I called in reinforcements and Branden’s parents came over. I needed to clean the floor, get laundry going and eat lunch to name a few things. They picked up a few things for me at the store and Peggy held Garrett while I took care of things around the house. He did sleep for about 1 hour in his bed then woke up and got sick. He finally was able to go 1 hour without getting sick so I gave him a tablespoon of pedialyte every 10 minutes for about 1 hour. He did fine so I gave him a popsicle. He ate it so fast it all came back up. We started all over. He went another hour fine so we gave him another tablespoon and put him to bed. He has been quiet since. I hope that tomorrow we will be getting back to normal.

It so sad when the are sick!!! Aiden has managed to get this twice! Although when Aiden’s sick you can’t tell. He acts EXACTLY the same as when he is well, just vomits. I hope Garrett gets to feeling better REAL soon. It so scary when they get sick that first time. Even if he is feeling better tomorrow I’d hold off on giving him anything more than clear liquids and crackers. Take care!!
