Silver Lining...

Will threw up at 2:30 this morning.  The silver lining?  He actually made it to the bathroom and there was no mess to clean up.  Another sweet milestone of growing up.

Even though there was no mess, I slept in the chair in his room.  Translation: I didn't sleep.  We were up and back to the bathroom every 10 minutes for about 2 hours because he felt like he was going to get sick again, but never did. 

Another silver lining - even though we don't have a loyal, protective dog, we DO have a loyal protective cat. :)  Molly (who usually doesn't give Will much of her time) never left his side.  Every time he went to the bathroom because he felt sick, she was right behind him...at times even beating me!  Then when he would come back to bed, she'd hop up and lay at his feet.....and she NEVER sleeps with him.  Obviously, she's a bit tired today too.

Today, Will feels much better.  It's almost noon, he just had some toast and is watching shows on the iPad.  We are gonna try to nap after lunch.  He has a field trip to the city library on Thursday that he doesn't want to miss.

Glad you are feeling better Will, and yes the cats are good for that, try having two of them by your side all the time when you are sick, a few months ago when I called in to work I had two companions for the day....and they really do make you feel better....Molly is a family cat for sure.......
