Day 121 (5/1/11) - Stomach Flu Part Deux

Within an hour of arriving home from his first tee ball game yesterday, Ryan came down with the stomach flu for the second time in less than 3 months.  The vomiting, which started on Saturday afternoon, continued into Sunday, and didn't subside until mid-day Monday.  Although it was obvious he felt miserable, he put up such a brave front.  It's horrible to watch your child suffer and to be completely helpless to do anything about it.  I would have done anything to make him feel better.  If I could have been sick instead of him, I would have.

Even Gavin could tell how awful Ryan felt.  So he offered him stickers to try to make him feel better.  I think Ryan appreciated the gesture because it elicited a slight smile from him.
