Sicker than a Dog

Last week Tommy got horribly sick and ended up missing 4 days of school/daycare.  We will call it the flu but I am pretty sure he had everything that could possibly be going around.  He threw up pretty steady and then off and on for 4 days straight and then that turned into diarrhea, all while sporting a fever too.  Anyways, at first I didn’t think he was that bad or even sick.  On Tuesday daycare called Susie at work to tell her he had an “incident report”—another kid opened the door while Tommy was holding on to it standing up, anyhow he spilt his lip and top gum open and there was I quite a bit of blood.  Tuesday night after dinner he started throwing up.  So we didn’t take him to school on Wednesday and his teacher said it was probably just from all the blood he swallowed…I was hoping that was it but when the vomiting continued Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday I knew that wasn’t the case.  He ended up going to the emergency room late Thursday night for Zofran and fluids. 

 Anyways before I knew he was “really sick” I had taken him over to my parents…fast forward to grandpa throwing up for the first time in 20 years and all the Bostow kids getting some version of Tommy’s illness.  Tommy apologizes, it was a horrible virus.  I went to pick up the kids yesterday from daycare and found out Tommy’s favorite teacher, Ms. Shannon, is now also enjoying Tommy’s wonderful gift.   :)

Meeting the chickens for the first time at grandma's before I knew he was super contagious

He loved the chickens, even wanted to sample their food

Maggie is afraid of them when they peck her fingers, Tommy giggled

"Oh hey nurses, do you think I am handsome?"

You would never had guessed he was sick when he had 3 nurses waiting on him.  He really turned on the charm, he loved all the attention.  The entire staff took great care of him.

Sleeping it off, in mommy's bed of course
