What A Crazy Week

Well, Aidan has been sick since Wednesday. On Wednesday night he started throwing up just after dinner. It was projectile! Poor thing was somewhat miserable and threw up several times. We investigated and found out that Jason had given him some chocolate milk that he'd found in the fridge (he didn't bother to check it). The milk was spoiled. So we assumed it was food poisoning.

Thursday I took him to school because he hadn't thrown up since the night before and seemed fine. He slept well and woke up in a good mood. The school called at 3:30 and said that he'd thrown up during their afternoon snack. I picked him up early. Friday morning he woke up in a great mood. Jason was in Minnesota on business, so it was just the two of us. He opened his eyes, looked up at me, waved, and said "Hi!" He was so adorable! I watched him for a couple of hours, he seemed fine, so I called the school. They said he couldn't come back until it had been 24 hours since his last incident.

Although I really needed to work yesterday, I didn't have much of a choice with Jason gone and Aidan sick. Since he was otherwise doing fine and hadn't thrown up since Thursday afternoon, we went out for lunch, played on the playground at Chick-fil-A, got a haircut, and visited Mommy's work to pick up some stuff and cancel meetings. On the way home he fell asleep so we sat in the driveway until he woke up. While we were sitting there Uncle Stevie came! Aidan was very excited to see him.

All in all, yesterday was a great day. He had lots of fun running through the halls of the business school. Everyone really enjoyed seeing him, most people hadn't seen him since before he was walking. He enjoyed playing with Uncle Stevie. His little friend, Mary, from next door came over for a while too. At around 8pm last night Jason came home. We all agreed that Aidan must be better since he seemed to be happy and feeling fine.

Then, before bed last night, he threw up again! We stripped him down and made sure he was ok. Again, he seemed fine other than the throwing up. We went to bed. At 3:30 am he sat straight up in bed and started projectile puking all over us! It was terrible! We got up, cleaned everything up, then laid back down. He did it several more times in the next 30 minutes or so. Then, again, he woke up fine. Jason took him to the doctor this morning (they are there 1/2 a day on Saturday) and he tested negative for strep. They think it's just a virus. She said that it's not from the milk, that was just a coincidence.

So that's what we've been doing this week. Cleaning up puke! Today I'm at work, trying to catch up. Jason and Aidan went to the duck pond after the doctor's office. Uncle Stevie was sleeping in since he's technically on vacation and doesn't have to be anywhere today. Hopefully Aidan will get over this virus soon. We'll keep you posted!
