The Bubonic Plague Strikes Again :(


At 2 am we heard a faint cry "Mommy... Daddy... I feel sick." Dad jumped into action b/c he knew what was going to happen and it did! VOMIT VOMIT EVERYWHERE :( Poor little Harmon. This is happening to us about once a month. I really am starting to worry. I want to talk with my pediatrician and see if we can go ahead and do further testing. I'm really worried this might be something bigger b/c the twins don't vomit like this and none of my friends vomit like this. Part of me wonders if it has to do with his Sensory Integration. I just hope we can figure out a way to stop it.

Anyhow today the only thing that would stop his vomiting was a medicine that cost $350. We have a family HSA so it wasn't the end of the world but if we didn't have it... wow. It is interesting about how out of control health care is these days.

Oh well, Harmon is feeling better thanks to his magical golden medicine. I buy toys my kids will love when I see a great sale and I keep them for birthdays or other special occasions. Today Harmon was so sick I brought out a new wooden Thomas Train for him. It was Gordon and when he saw it he cracked his first smile. I had a lot to do today before our nanny goes on vacation but none of it got done. Just seeing him smile and feeling better made everything well worth it today.
