If I ever see another cherry popsicle, I'll probably projectile vomit on reflex. Ugh.

Yep, that's one of the little joys of parenthood for you. My favorite is when they throw up, you change their sheets, then they throw up again...

Still, when they run to you with open arms shouting "Daddy!", it's all worth it!

Unless, of course, when they reach you they throw up yet again. J/K. It is worth it, even then.

Yes, its well worth it. But I can do without a few of those barfing episodes. If you're like me, every time they get sick like that I used to always think of the worst in the back of my mind.

I feel for you.

The worst is when everyone in the house is sick at the same time! Or is it when everyone takes turns getting it & it drags on for over a month?

this stomach bug has been going around town the past few weeks. Evidently, it's so nasty that every pediatrician in town won't even let the patients in the office if they have symptoms. They just call in zofran to the pharmacy for the nausea. I think we're coming out of it now (fingers crossed).

Ugh. My stomach turned just thinking about it.


My wife and I had a deal......I dealt with the blood and she dealt with the puke. Blood would make her feel faint and I'm so sensitive to puke that I often have to turn the channel on the TV if somebody even fake gags. It caused me more than a few embarrassing moments on EMS calls over the years, including puking right out in the middle of rush hour traffic on a vehicle wreck one day when the drunk who hit the light pole threw up while we were trying to treat him.

When my boys were 6 and 2 respectively they and the wife caught a stomach bug and I had to choke it back and deal with all of them. Worst three days of my life.

Disinfect everything with a 100:1 water to bleach solution and pray the bug runs it's course quickly. Prayers with you.
