The quarantine is up again. Jaden got the stomach flu last night. How horrible for him. I would like to be able to tell you how it was, but I don't know because I was sleeping through all of it. I keep thinking about him by himself in his room, feeling terrible and no one to comfort him.
He came up this morning after my wonderful night of sleep and said, "Mom, you aren't going to want to go downstairs because I threw up." I went to check out the damage and oh my...it wasn't pretty. As more of the story unfolded I discovered once he finally got out of the bed he laid down on the floor (with no blankets b/c they were all dirty) and slept. My sick baby slept on the floor of his room with no pillow or blankets. I kept asking myself why didn't I know and why he had to go through it alone. I was scared that he thought he couldn't bother me in the middle of the night.
Okay, crazy insecure mom...chill out and take care of your son.
So that is what I've been doing. I broke out the rubber gloves and the disinfectant and went to work. I set up a hang out area for him in front of the TV, put up the baby gate to keep Parker upstairs and am currently making sure he is stocked with saltines and sprite.
I did ask him why he didn't get me. His response? He felt too sick to get me. Oh right...I hadn't considered that. That would be too logical.

SO SAD when our kiddos are sick, and you know how crummy they feel. It made me want to cry last night when I found out Hazel had been sick in her bed. She's never really puked (as a non-baby) before.
Glad he's feeling better now.
come on i enjoy reading your blog, it´s been a while...new story please:)
