Self Fulfilling Prophecy

I was chatting with Allie on Friday and giving her an update on the boys, among other things. She asked how the boys were doing because Tyler had a fever earlier in the week and was still acting a bit off and Andrew caught whatever Tyler had and developed a fever Thursday morning. Well, in the course of that conversation, I said something to the effect of, well at least they aren't vomiting. I should have kept my mouth shut!

***Warning, this post talks about throw up***

Friday night, still under the weather from his fever, Andrew threw up in his bed in the middle of the night. He started crying and calling out so I went straight upstairs and I am still shocked that I did not freak out because his face was covered with red smeared vomit that from far away looked like blood. It was the strawberries from his strawberry short cake -- yummy.

Doug heard what was going on and came up to help. We came up with a plan of action -Andrew ended up sleeping in our room on his inflatable Thomas air bed (the bed we took to Italy with us) surrounded by towels with a bucket next to him. Good thing we had the bucket because Andrew eneded up having to use it several times -- but I was so proud of him because he got everything in the bucket. Andrew was feeling better by lunch on Saturday (no fever, no vomiting) and I thought we were in the clear. Then, right before bed Tyler threw up all over me! Thankfully, it was a one time occurrence.

I am happy to report that everyone is happy and healthy today. I pinpointed the vomiting episode to the strawberries and/or blueberries we bought on Friday. Tyler didn't have any on Friday and he was fine, but he had them for a snack on Saturday and clearly he had the same reaction as Andrew did. Needless to say, we won't be having any more of those.

I hope everyone else had a throw-up free weekend!
