I should have known better than to say we were all well and fine. . . Last Thursday Stratton got sick again. I picked him up about 4:30 he had been sick at school and on the way home he threw up in my car. . .again. Did I mention that my next vehicle WILL have leather seats?? Thursday night was horrible to say the least. He got sick about every 2 hours and was so miserable. Jarrod and I were both up with him pretty much all night. Luckily, Jarrod was off on Friday so he stayed home with him. He started running a fever Friday afternoon so we took him to the Dr. He said it was just a virus, and to keep him hydrated and it would pass. . . well, when he was still throwing up on Monday we went back to the Dr and they said the same thing, but to bring him back if it didn't get better or got worse. Tuesday he was still getting sick, so I called and they wanted to see him, so back to the Dr we went again. . . we were afraid they would want to admit him to the hospital, but he wasn't too dehydrated so this time he went ahead and put him on a reflux medicine for a few days in case the strep from last week had caused him to have a temporary reflux problem. Thankfully, today he hasn't been sick and seems to be feeling better I don't know if the virus is finally out of his system or if the meds are working, but either way I am so relieved! Whew! It has been one LONNNNGGG week.

Eeek, that's sounds horrible!! Hopefully, he's on the road to getting better.
Poor guy, you must be spending a fortune in copays. I just thought we'd get through this week w/out sickness but I went back to the Dr today, and now Kate's running a fever. When Will It END??
Give S some hugs from us.
YUCK, YUCK, YUCK! This has been one of the "sickest" years for so many!! Us included!
