Sick Boy

I got the call from daycare around lunchtime yesterday that Carter had been throwing up continuously for about 15 minutes. So we had our first rush to pick him up at daycare and get him to the pediatrician experience. In all, Carter threw up for about 30 minutes straight, was listless for another 30 minutes, and then was back to his usual charming self. Of course, his return to charming conincided with the doctor coming in to see him. She didn't seem particularly concerned about his vomiting, but understood why we brought him in.

Our best guess is that the milk that I pumped on my business trip Tuesday didn't withstand the 14 hours in the cooler pack (even though it is supposed to last 24!). So, basically, I gave my child food poisoning. Or else he had a very short lived bug, or possibly he swallowed too much of the snot that is continually draining out of him. Regardless of the cause, he isn't allowed to go back to school today, so Thomas and I are each working a half day. Carter is feeling much better this morning (and he slept better last night than he has in weeks!), as evidenced by this picture I snapped of him this morning.

He wore his baseball pjs last night in honor of the playoff game that he was supposed to attend last night, but which he and I skipped because of all the puking earlier in the day.
