Erpy

Drake came down with a tummy virus and has been pretty miserable the last two days. Poor little man couldn't even keep water down longer than 5 minutes. He made it 8 hours last night without vomiting. When he woke this morning he took a sip of water and promptly threw it up. So...off to the clinic we go...

We managed to be the first ones in line at the clinic when they opened. He was still vomiting but they gave him a Zofran tablet to help. 30 minutes later they had me start giving him 1/2oz of water, every 10 minutes for the first 6 hours. Thank God Robby thought that was an excellent job for him and he was very diligent about it. Precisely measuring out 1/2oz each time, no matter how many attempts it took. lol

Bob and Robby took time to work on the "Honey-Do" list while Drake and I napped and then they headed out to the shop for some Man-cave time, followed by burgers for dinner. Drake and I stayed inside in our pj's, I gave him a bath and we munched on plain spaghetti. I told him he could drink water when he was thirsty now but he keeps forgetting unless he hears an alarm go off somewhere in the house. Pavlov's dog...

Drake is going to stay home from school tomorrow but Robby is all set to go and share his cherry birthday cupcakes with his classmates.

Regarding erpy... My grandmother used to say "erpy" when referring to being nauseous. I HATE that word. It's a word that even if you were feeling great, as soon as you heard it you wanted to zook. *shivers*
