A bout of vomiting

All in all, yesterday was a good day. Riley was slightly more energetic and was even getting into a bit of trouble with his little brother. They were shouting at each other--an annoying game they have--and I decided that kind of game was best played outside.

They were out there for about 10 minutes before I decided to go join them in the yard. When I got out there, Riley was holding his tummy, saying that he wasn't feeling well. Then he started throwing up. Four times. And it wasn't a coughing fit that set it off.

He hasn't eaten much in the last 10 days, so it was disheartening to the see the little remains of his lunch on the lawn. Not sure what to make of this episode. I'm hoping we can just chalk it up to a little too much excitement.

I am glad there has been some improvement and hope the throwing up is a one time thing.

Our family and friends and school have been struck by a vomiting disease which starts with throwing up and is followed by nausea for 3-5 days. I hope its isn't down there too!

Hi Guys,

Of course I hope that the vomiting is a one-time thing, too! I really feel for you all and hope that the next week brings great improvements. Please give Riley a big hug from his friend, Cassidy! Please let me know if I can help with anything. We're thinking about you!

Take care,

Gwynne
