The night before last my family experienced our first all-nighter. And by “all-nighter” I mean, of course, that my son threw up all night long. It was extremely odd as he didn’t have a fever, 98.6F all the way. And when he first thew up it was clear, no food in his stomach. Food poisoning? I’m not sure. All I know is that when a 3 year-old child throws up it’s never a silent affair. Crying, loud crying, always ensues.
The first couple of times we were like, “Crap! What a mess! Get the Lysol!” Then I had the brilliant idea to get a small trash can for, ya know, the stuff. At first Toddler Boy was all like, “You want me to do WHAT in there?!” Then after a few puking episodes he was like, “ZOMG! Where’s the can?! It’s coming again!” Suffice it to say, he’s an old pro at hurling (not to be confused with Curling, which is a sport . . . but that would be cool too.)

oh no! poor buddy! is he doing better? what was it?
Yeah, he’s fine now. Eating like a horse. We still don’t know what it was. All we know is he started chucking at around 12am and stopped at 8:30am.
Ben, you crack me up, buddy. Hurling, not curling.
Oh, and I just installed Ubuntu 8.04 yesterday and got AWN running on it. Pretty sweet.
Glad to hear that he is ok. Mikah, my 2 1/2 year old had a similar night a few months ago (November) and has had them a few more times since. At first the doctor said it was Norwalk Virus, but then decided that it wasn’t Norwalk when it happened again.
There is nothing worse than a sick kid.
Curling is a sweet sweet sport to watch. Don’t get to watch enough of it.
Hope your son feels better.
Man, everyone is getting sick like that. 16 people from our church got sick, no fever just puking. That sucks, I am glad he is doing good now though.
