I guess some good things must come to an end...

It has been about 4 months now that Seth has avoided illness, well yesterday it came to an end. Most of you know that starting this past January, he was sick at least 1 day a week and I have exhausted ALL of my sick days. I even had to call in on my very first day of work because he was sick. Well finally in May, the sickness began to slow down and we all finally got a break from it. Anyway, when i picked him up yesterday from daycare, they said he had just thrown up and he just wasn't acting himself. When i brought him home, he fell asleep in the car which is unusual and when I took him inside, all he wanted to do was snuggle, which is also unusual since he can't sit still for a minute. I took his temp and it was 101. I made him some dinner and he took one bite of banana and started throwing up. He then refused all food, but luckily, he loves water so much that by the end of the night he had chugged down 3 sippy cups FULL of water. After a few rounds of puking, i gave him a bath and then we snuggled together on the couch and watched sesame street. Usually after a bath he goes straight to bed, but i noticed he was acting alot better, so i figured he might be hungry. Sure enough, while we snuggled on the couch, he ate 2 pieces of toast and chugged down another sippy of water. I then put him to bed and he went to sleep pretty easily, so i thought he was going to be okay. Around 11:30 he started whimpering a little and sat up and played his music for a while. I couldn't tell if he had thrown up because he coughed a little, but then he went back to sleep. This morning when I walked in to wake him up, he and his bed were covered in throw up. My poor baby!!!! I felt awful, but he greeted me with a big smile and hug. I cleaned him up and since he didn't have a fever and acted himself again, we decided to send him to daycare. Turns out 3 other kids in his class are out sick too. I hope he is over it! Oh, and he was bitten 2 times yesterday...once on the arm and once on the butt!
