So now that we have had the second throw up bug in two weeks to hit our house I thought I'd summarize what I have learned. For those of you who have a weak stomach you might not want to read :) Also most of this I learned from this week when Holt got sick in the car after eating a large breakfast and lunch..enough said.
-Rubber floor mats are one of the smartest, best investments we have made. Also the rubber seat protector came in quite handy and leather seats.
-A hose works wonderful when child has thrown up 4 plus times in the car seat and thank goodness you can wash the car seat covers.
-I knew my friend Hope was an amazing friend but she proved this once again when she stayed on the phone with me as I cleaned the car and talked to me to distract me from the task at hand and keep me from throwing up myself. I only had to pull the phone away once to gag.
-I will not be able to eat Chick-fil-a for quite a while.
-Keep large ziplock bags in the seat pockets in front of the kids seats in case they decide to get sick. I did not have these, however they are in there now!
-When your child says his stomach is hurting when leaving school. Maybe stick around just a little longer before putting him in the car.
-When the nurse tells you not to give them water until they haven't thrown up for an hour...really don't do it or know that even that water will come right back up.
And its not even officially winter yet, hopefully our household and yours can stay healthy for the holidays!

I immediately thought of you on Saturday when Daniel started throwing up in Chick Fil A. I won't be eating any Chick Fil A for a long time either!
