DAILY SNACK
It started on Sunday afternoon,
When Colum hung out in bed rather than visiting with company,
And threw up all over his bedding and himself.
He then threw up a couple times that night,
Which was to be expected.
The next day he seemed better.
Low on energy, but in good spirits.
He ate a bit and kept in down.
Until the middle of the night,
When WHAMO!
More vomit.
And then again yesterday he seemed much, much better.
Cue 2:30am and VOMIT ALL OVER THE BED!
What is this?!
Not one solitary episode of vomitting has managed to hit bare flooring,
Or any other surface that doesn’t involve vast amounts of laundry.
And only at night?
Yesterday, Irene started to run a fever and I thought, “Oh no.”
She’s a bit sick, sure, but no vomit.
None.
Has anybody ever experienced this strain of nocturnal regurgatation before?
I mean in their kids, not after a night at the bar.
(Because I’ve done the field research on the latter, thanks.)
