Triple Whammy!

Triple Whammy = Double ear infection and slight case of tonsilitis...

I got a call from daycare on Thursday that Boog had thrown up twice...So leave work, go get the Boog and cross my fingers that he doesn't hurl in my car...Stop at Safeway for ginger ale and gatorade...Get home, get me and the Boy a snack started (hadn't had lunch) with a whining Boogie...the Boy takes Boog and goes to eat while I'm getting my food together...Boogie proceeds to puke...ALL OVER THE BOY...

Go get Boogie and take him upstairs to the tub, cause let's be honest, he stinks...and he loves bath time...stand him in the tub where he pukes again...strip him down while he's trying to climb up into my arms...start the water so we can rinse out the tub and then fill it...he's still whiny and not wanting to be in the tub...I turn to get the stopper for the tub and see he peed a little when the water hit his toes...I asked him in a silly voice if he just went pee pee and he giggles and suddenly the bath is AWESOME...he splashes all over and has a general good time...

After the bath, I get him into a diaper and a night shirt, so he doesn't get over hot, get the blanket over his lap and the towel over that, just in case, with a bowl near by...the Boy goes to get in the shower and about 3.5 seconds after he walks out the door, we have pukage...

Have you ever seen a baby/toddler throw up? It's pitiful...they have no idea what's going on and give you the most pitiful look ever...like "why aren't you doing something to make this stop." And they want to be held, while puking...

So once that's over he starts asking for a drink - give him some ginger ale...yeah, learned a lesson about that about 20 minutes later...don't give un-flat ginger ale to sick child unless you want to watch that pitiful throwing up again...the Boy went to make something for dinner and got Boog a piece of toast...he was asleep within minutes of the Boy getting back upstairs...slept from 7 p.m. till about 3:30 a.m. when I got up to pee...then back to sleep till 6 a.m. where he made it obvious that he had no desire to wake up...

I made an appointment for him Friday afternoon and they gave us the fabulous diagnosis of a double ear infection and a slight case of tonsilitis...Said she wasn't going to test for strep since the antibiotics that she was giving for the ears would treat strep if that's what it was...he had a dinner of yogurt and gatorade lol...was asleep around 7, then woke up a few times, and was back out by 9...with daddy...
