Pukey Pukey

Tuesday morning started with a random round of puking when Daddy was getting Samuel his breakfast. Fortunately, Samuel has always been great about verbalizing that he feels sick, even just outright letting us know that he is going to puke. He really does handle it well, too. I don't remember being quite so cool about throwing up as a young child... thank God he gets his fortitude from Daddy on that front :)

The puking lasted throughout the early part of the day, a few more trips to the potty but not much left to come up. He was obviously pretty exhausted + weak, so we had a super fun chillin'-at-home/movie day - LOTS of Veggie Tales, some Kung Fu Panda (thank you, AGAIN, Aunt Zara + Uncle Michael!), Cars (thanks, Nonna!), and sadly for me, Mickey's Clubhouse (who bought that again? I do not like you. haha! jk!).

Fortunately, Samuel did not have any other symptoms of infection, and because by later on Tuesday afternoon he was already feeling much better (+ developing quite the recovery appetite), we didn't have to make any special trips to the Children's place. Yay!!!! By the time he went to bed (after one last late night chow session with Dad), he had eaten a decent amount + definitely re-hydrated with Perfect Water + sugar-free sports drink.

All-in-all, if you have to have a pukey day, we must say that it went pretty well. We're SO grateful to God that He kept Samuel from needing any medical intervention, and that Samuel hasn't felt any lingering effects!

(The pic is totally NOT from this past Tuesday, but it's such a great picture - and certainly represents the pukey pukey day well)
