While I spent my weekend at a Parelli seminar (which just stoked the already burining flames of my desire to once again be a horse owner) Alex quietly contracted a stomach bug which required a trip to the doctor this morning. He's not holding anything down, not even water or saltine crackers, and even woke up with a dry diaper, raising a huge red flag regarding dehydration. I'm giving him little sips of gatorade every 10 minutes or so and letting him nibble a bit on crackers when the desire strikes.
I hate it when Alex is sick, any parent hates it when their child is miserable and there's nothing they can do about it. I'm very lucky though, unlike some kids who get cranky and mean while sick (like me), Alex just gets sweet and cuddly (like his dad). He turns into a calm little love bug who just wants to be held all day long.
