The least perfect way to spend a spring break day....laying around sick. Bobby woke up at 2:00 am burning hot and vomiting. Fortunately after the early morning vomiting session ended, the high fever left. He finally fell back to sleep around 6 am but only slept until 8 am. We got up and I made him his normal breakfast of toast and bacon, which sat there for a few hours until Zoi couldn't stand it anymore and ate it for him.
This was the scene in our house all day yesterday....
He laid around all day watching tv, which is definitely NOT typical Bobby behavior. One minute he would be watching tv and then I would look over and he would be sleeping.
Poor Zoi was bored. "Aren't we gonna go outside and play?? Woof."
Bobby moved around the house all day to find a new place to lay down and watch tv...
Around 4:00 pm, he finally ate 6 mini rice cakes, which was the only thing that he ate all day, and then went to bed...
I usually don't wake Bobby up when he is sick, but at 6:00 pm I decided to wake him up hoping that we would have a better nights sleep. Boy, talk about a hard task. The poor kid did NOT want to get up. So I made him a bed on the couch and he laid around until bedtime...
His symptoms were exactly the same as when he had the flu during Christmas break. However, on a scale of 1 to 10 his sickness over Christmas was a 9 and yesterday was a 2. The symptoms were much less severe and much shorter in duration.
He slept well last night. Woke up a little after 6 and got me up because he wanted to go downstairs. I made him a soft pretzel and he ate 1/2. He then ate 2 slices of bacon and drank some water. He is now playing (well arranging his blocks on the table) in the kitchen...up off of the couch!! We will see how he feels in a little while and hopefully he can go back to therapy today.
4 days down...6 to go!!
