Subtitle: The Grossest Thing I've Ever Lived Through
Well, Gus decided to join the ranks of people who've vomited, poor thing. And poor me, because he climbed into bed with us feeling crummy. I knew it was probably coming and had prepared a bowl, towels, etc. However I did not prepare for my sweet child's instinctive turn towards his mother at the critical moment. If you have a weak stomach you may not want to read further.
Yes, he vomited right into my face.
He's resting up in my bed right now, reading and playing games on my phone. He most recent words "Mom, I don't want to eat anything." Poor kid.
An illness like this, though horrible of course, does in a perverse way make me feel accomplished as a parent. I mean, I certainly wouldn't want anyone other than one of my kids to vomit in my face! I know he'll get better and so I can focus on trying to make him comfortable, rubbing his back, helping him sip gatorade, that kind of thing. Still hope it's over fast!
Oh no! I guess that's what you get for announcing his record to the internet. ;) Hope all are well in your house soon!
