It's just not right.

At 6:45am this morning, I was awakened by the sound of Jack retching out his guts. Why is he sick again? Why does this stomach flu keep coming around, and why doesn't it show ANY signs of its arrival the night before? He was fine, I swear - FINE. He played outside all afternoon long, he delivered cookies to many neighbors, he was playing and dancing around the house, etc.

Even now, besides the puking every half hour, he's happy as can be, just larking away in his own room. I've got all the windows open all over the house, and everything is really as clean as it can be because I've worked hard on it all week. I can spray Lysol all I want, but I just think he's got to get over this little bug FOR REAL or nothing else will help.

But I'm so frustrated by the sickness.

Just a thought, could he not have the flu, but maybe it is stress related with his daddy leaving and stuff? I know my stepkids get physically ill to the point of throwing up when they worry and stress over their mom etc. The fact this started before Philip left and is still going on makes me wonder if it's more of an emotional thing affecting his little body than just a flu bug.

If he wasn't a little boy, I'd recommend a dose of a very stiff drink. For real. Sometimes that just seems to do the trick. Don't ask.

oh no, it seemed like they just got over it. :o(

Did you wash all your laundry in hot water? You also might want them to change toothbrushes, too.

I hope they get over it soon.
