Stomach viruses suck!
Well it was bound to happen - no sooner had Naveen gotten better than did Sunil come down with the stomach bug Monday night. The boys had fun at the pool with Ian Monday afternoon splashing around and were exhausted after they came home. Sunil was sitting on Ian's lap when he took the first bite of his supper and announced "My tummy hurts". We looked at him and carefully asked "are you sure?" since he never had a belly ache before we weren't sure he knew what one was. He nodded his head yes then proceeded to gag. Ian immediately picked him up and started running to the bathroom. They almost made it to the sink before Sunil vomited on the floor. He continued to vomit unexpectedly all night long which required several clothing and bedsheet changes.
Needless to say, I kept him home with me yesterday (during the snowstorm ) and he seemed fine other than the usual lethargy and needing lots of Mommy hugs. Then at 5 this morning he wakes up from my bed and wants water because he is really thirsty (it was warm in the room). After drinking 2 cups of water he falls asleep only to sit up real quick and vomit in the bed. Another set of PJs and bedsheets later he was fast asleep.
Ian decided to keep the boys home today. Both boys seem to be back to normal (keep my fingers crossed). Only one more week before we leave for NYC!
