Random thoughts on a rainy (Easter) Sunday

  • Small children can throw up surprising quantities of partially digested food.
  • Peas apparantly take a really long time to digest.
  • Partially digested meatloaf? Sehr gross.
  • The Swiss version of Pedialyte is called GES 45. I think Pedialyte is a much friendlier name.
  • Rubber lined sheets really do protect the mattress from seeping moisture.
  • When your child throws up all over you, you only think about how gross it is much, much later.
  • I wish it were me instead.

Oh dear, so sorry! This sounds entirely unpleasant!

Leukadia welcome! I wish I could chalk it up to holiday excitement, but it's good old Magen-Darm-Grippe - stomach flu. Much puking and diarrhea, no eating. Since he is the skinniest boy on the planet, no eating is never good. He seems to be on the mend now, but it was a rough weekend.

Christina - yep it was pretty ugly - to give you an idea, I had to change clothes twice. Blah!

all of this is SO TRUE. i had a similar experience as april seemed to be the month for family stomach viruses. my daughter leaned over at one point and spewed all over me (twice!). it was so gross, but mostly i was just worried.

she also hates pedialyte! i have to mix it with gatorade (which is basically the same thing with more sugar) and make popsicles. works like a charm. and their stomachs don't fill up so fast as with liquids.
