How can a kid throw up so much?

What a week! Peter has been throwing up off and on for 5 days. In between he seems to be getting better but then usually after he goes to sleep it hits him (and the floor and the sheets and usually me).

Wednesday He puked at school when some kid spit chewed up carrots on the picnic table and was drawing with them-eww. Then he was just feeling yucky, sore throat and tummy ache. Declined a movie with Grandma? Who would have thought that he would skip a movie?

He seemed better on Friday. We ate Mcdonalds for dinner Burger for Peter, nuggets for Morgan, neither had much appetite but both polished off their chocolate milk. By 1030 that night Morgan had filled his bed end to end but managed to miss his cherished blankie and teddy. He needed a hair wash and a cuddle. He threw up three more times. After Morgan went to bed Peter started up again too. then they tag teamed me for the next few hours, Morgan just fussy but Peter throwing up.

Dan was throwing in Red deer Saturday and we planned to go watch. I waited until the kids got up to assess the situation. Morgan was right as rain-pigged out on breakfast. Peter seemed somewhat better too. I chalked it up to bad chocolate milk (and Peter mending from his previous illness) We went to Red Deer had a great time. Dan's sister Lisa came from Sask. with her family too.

They didn't eat much dinner but I figured it was just tired from a big day. Well poor Peter started up again after he went to bed. Changed his sheets three times. Dan had gone on to Edmonton for his next competition so I was all alone. Sometime after midnight Peter went to sleep but when he got up the next morning he started up again and threw up all morning. My friend Gina brought us some Pedialyte and I got him to get some down. He stopped again at noon.

Dan came home early, Peter ate a bit of soup and went to bed only to start up again around 11 pm. I managed to get some Gravol into him and he slept all night, swears to me that he did not wake up to throw up at all-good drug Gravol.

Well I stayed home from work today and now he has been pestering me sine 630 am to do stuff when all I want to do is sleep. I'm taking him to school this afternoon!!
