Putter is SO sick. He just falls asleep everywhere. Fever is high, but no

tylenol has crossed his lips so it remains high. It's all we can do to get

the penicillin in him...

Robbie is better. is almost well but very very cross.

And Enrique has a sore throat.

But Sophie went back to school yesterday.

Jacquie,

Keep a sheet on the floor (to catch any misses) and a bucket or kitchen size

waste basket new to the bed on top of the sheet. Then all has to do is

lean off the bed and hopefully there will be no mess to clean up, just the

bucket to rinse. I do this with my kids. I'm like you when it comes to

being around it, ughhh. Hope he's feeling better soon!

Asunto: the nitrates finally got him. :-(

At four o'clock, ate 2 uncooked weiners. He has been puking for

the last five hours. He vomited up the weiners almost immediately, but

he's been dry retching ever since. :-(

But through this hideous evening, I have gained a new appreciation for

my husband. Vomit makes me vomit. Vomit doesn't bother him! Every

time ERic has made even a wimper, dh has flown across the room with

bucket and facecloth, and cleaned up afterward. This, while I've been

frozen in panic.

Dh has to go to bed soon. Then it's my shift. and I will sleep

together. I only hope that I can take care of him half as well as Marc

has.

Jacquie

[Guest guest]

Has it subsided yet Jacquie? You at all worried about food poisoning?

Poor kid. Poor you. I hope it's over and the " second shift " doesn't

have to do puke duty. :/

~Karin

[Guest guest]

It might not be the nitrates, maybe the hotdogs were just bad,

however, it does not sound like a fun evening. Yeah for Marc. What

a good daddy and husband. I hope your shift is not as eventful.

Good luck!!

[Guest guest]

poor eric! nice work marc! hope your night was alright jacquie!

Oh my. I'm sending well thoughts your way, although I'm sure you'd

rather throttle him at the moment. Ugh. I guess this is going to be

a couch day. ((hugs))

[Guest guest]

Sending good healthy vibes your way. yuck! Poor , poor Jacquie and even poor

Marc. Jeff would have died. He does NOT do vomit. So that leaves me with it.

Alec had a bad night a while back and I was doing the same laundry. I feel for

you. Except we had more sheets....lots more. Poor Alec just vomits all over

himself and everything. But he is in a toddle bed with a baby matress so I just

wipe it down and lysol it.

Ewwwww! Poor Jacquie! Poor too, but hey, my sympathy is with you

right now. I'm so glad that my boys are easy to deal with when they do

become ill like that!

so every hour I had to roll him over and haul him up and push him -

HARD - over a bucket so he wouldn't choke to death, while he screamed

his fool head off the whole time and pushed back against my arm

Oh ick! I hope he's doing much better now. (

does this too. She won't sit up, she just vomits laying down,

won't even turn her head to the side. She scares me to death when she

does that. (

[Guest guest]

Oh God Jacquie. I'm so sorry!

You know, I always tell my clients after birth that now that they have

gone through childbirth, they can do anything. And when they have

that night, the night that will surely visit every mother, when the

child is up sick all night long and Mom must nurse him... then she

can look back on the birth and say to herself, " Well, if I got through

that, then I can get through this night too. " Your night was exactly

the kind I was thinking of.

You did it Jacquie. Both you and survived. Now you just have to

recover. :/

Hope all is well now!!!!!

ROTFLMAO!

He vomited all over everything.

It was a horrific night.

[Guest guest]

I was, but all the weiners seemed to vacate the body in the first three or

four vomits, still solid. (ick) The rest of the vomiting was mostly water

he drank and stomach bile.

He seems fragile but ok this morning....but we'll see. If there's any more

vomiting, I'm taking him into emerg.
