Terrible Goings On

I was sitting at my desk yesterday awaiting my next student appointment, when, at about 10:30, my cell phone rang. It was Wm's teacher. He was throwing up. In Coshocton. I got to talk to him, and he didn't sound good. Right about then, my next student showed up (one of many). I furiously waved at her to go sit in my waiting room and called Steve. Steve had to drive all the way to Coshocton to collect a very sick Wm while I tried to rush through all my appointments. I got home about 15 minutes before they did, Steve dropped Wm off, went back to work, and Wm and I laid around. Poor bunny was white as a sheet and emitting heat like a furnace. Of ALL the days to get so sick!! The kid hasn't thrown up in 5 years and he picks THAT day to get sick! He usually has an iron stomach. He said he wasn't feeling well that morning, but didn't tell us because he really wanted to go on the big field trip. So the result was Steve having to drive 4 hours in the car to collect him after he puked on his friend's shoe. Now he's the Field Trip Puker. We definitely have to move because he'll never shake that!

He fell asleep on the couch at about 7pm and was OUT:

Still has on the watch!

At about 9pm, Steve carried his sad, limp sleeping body up to his bed:

Haven't done THIS in years!!

Wm slept like a log for nearly 12 hours, got up this morning and said he feels, "fine." He doesn't feel hot anymore and he's got his color back. He is refusing to eat anything still, so we'll see how that rolls. But, it looks like we are through the worst of it!! (In fact, he hasn't been sick since Steve got him - he got all his barfs out in Coshocton!) I wondered if it hit him worse with all the field trip action. 

Steve woke up this morning and said his stomach hurts. But, that doesn't really mean anything. Steve's stomach hurts if he's nervous, if he's excited, if he eats too much, if he eats too little, if it's Wednesday (or Thursday...or Friday...) So we'll have to see how it plays out! I am hoping Steve doesn't get it since he weirdly scream-pukes and no one in the house can relax when you hear "AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" coming from the bathroom constantly. At least Wm throws up like a gentleman.
