We have a sick little boy. We got a call from childcare that he was complaining of feeling unwell and wasn't playing the way he normally does. When we picked him up he told me that his ear was sick. (Not hurting, apparently, but it felt sick.)
Right after we got home, before we'd even had time to take our shoes off, he threw up all over himself, the floor and his parents (I was holding him at the time). So I'm willing to believe him with the whole "feeling sick" thing.
Anyway, the fun part is that (yes, there's a fun part) last time he was sick, we had tremendous difficulty getting him to agree to take his medicine, as it tasted funny. This time around, he volunteered (indeed, insisted) to have some medicine. We'd been talking through the concept since last time, and when I was sick last week, he'd bring medicine to me so I'd feel better. (That part was just awesome.) He still thought it tasted funny, but got through it by alternating sips of the medicine and sips from his water cup. Learning!
Our chirpier boy is now safely ensconced in bed. (Fortunately, he didn't throw up over his regular bedtime froggie, but his auxiliary backup froggie.)
Awww, poor boo. Quick recovery wishes for him.
Poor Ryan. I hope he is feeling better soon.
All sympathies, Cass.
Get-well-soon wishes for Ryan.
Loyal auxilary backup froggie, taking one for the team.
Sending you hugs and strength, Cass.
And sorry to hear that Ryan is sick, bt. Sounds like maybe an ear infection or a bad respiratory infection? I wonder if he has vertigo.
My brother got released from the hospital today, and tomorrow morning he starts an outpatient rehab program. Each successive day I talk to him, he sounds better and better. His liver enzymes are rapidly dropping back to normal, so he shouldn't have any permanent physical damage.
Hec, I asked him the other day if he wanted entertaining, distracting stuff, and he was Captain Grumpypants and said no, he just wanted to watch Storage Wars on cable. So I let him be grumpy. I told him if he wants entertaining stuff in the future, the offer is open.
Storage Wars might be just what he needs.

I'm so glad, Steph. He gets to be Captain Grumpypants for a while, right? It sounds like he did this just in time. It feels especially relevant to me, I guess, because my BFF is going through the wringer right now with her alcoholic mom and her alcoholic boyfriend.
There are times I'm too stressed out to even watch tv. Then I watch, like, Pawn Stars and American Pickers, because I don't have to think enough even to follow a plotline. Frankly, I think that's why those shows are popular.

That's totally how I got into reality tv in the first place, for sure, at a time when I was so sunk in quicksand in real life that I couldn't handled scripted tv at all.
