Heartbreaking

I am not sure if there is a sadder picture than this:

Poor kiddo just wasn't feeling good this morning... and before I knew it, he was emptying his stomach all over the place. Yick! This is our first bout with a stomach bug and I would be just fine if it didn't happen again for a long, long time. So far he has kept down 1/2 c. sprite (two 1/4 c. doses) and 2.5 saltines... here is to hopefully mending! BIG thanks to Amber for saving me with clear liquids and popsicles!! (Note to self to stock up on such supplies for moments like this.) On the bright side, he has been cuddling with me all day - a rarity for this child. Sure hope he is feeling better soon!

so sweet but so sad at the same time. I hope he starts to feel better soon!

That is no fun, Jordyn. I hope it passes quickly for all of you! I'm glad he's been keeping anything down. Good luck!

p.s. You've probably heard of this already, but the B.R.A.T. diet (Bananas, Rice, Apples, Toast) is good when sick kids start getting an appetite back. Those things are supposed to be pretty soft on the stomach. This is a "just in case" you hadn't heard of that.
And by the way, congratulations on going this long without a stomach bug!

How's that for a "p.s."? :)
