Prince Puke

Conall was grabbing his shirt around the area of his stomach all the way home from school today. He wouldn't tell me anything except that "I can't make it" (we walked) or "I've lost my energy". I asked him if his stomach hurt and he'd tell me no, but he did tell me he needed some "special milk" which is what he calls Maalox. I gave him some and about 3o minutes later he headed to the bathroom.

As he was flushing, he made a sound like he was going to vomit. Sure enough, a few minutes later, he did. And did, and did (thank goodness he's old enough to try to make it to the toilet -- and did this time). I'm starting to think maybe the kids have caught a stomach virus and that's what was wrong with Caitlin last night (on top of the reflux). Ugh, I hope it passes quickly. I hate for Conall to miss school his first week.
