Flu Season hits our house

So as if the common cold weren't enough, Jack decided to check out the new and exciting world of stomach flu this week. Honestly I had no idea that that much vomit could come out of such a small person. Think "The Exorcist" and you're getting close to what we were dealing with. Jack had a smile on his face throughout most of the ordeal -- even a trip to Children's Hospital yesterday after Mommy freaked out because not even water was staying down. 2 hours, 2 tablets of anti-nausea medicine and a $300 bottle of Pedialyte later (just a guess on the price -- insurance will be picking up this tab) we were home for a nap and some more recuperation time. Also tallied up for the 2 days of sickness were 7 loads of laundry, 8 changes of clothes for Mommy, 2 missed naps (for both Jack and Mommy) and countless numbers of diapers.
