Poor Corey!

Last night was one of those nights. We put the kids to bed a little later than usual but it wasn’t super late. Terence and I had gone to bed and right as I was just about to fall asleep Corey started crying. This is not too unusual for him, he wakes up at least once a night on a pretty regular basis so I went into his room to see what was wrong. I don’t typically turn on the light because I want him to go back to sleep as quickly as possible. As I grabbed around his back to pick him up my hands squished into something. Oh yeah, Corey had thrown up all over the place. I took him out of his crib and brought him into my room to get him cleaned up. We changed his pj’s changed the sheets on his bed comforted him and put him back in his room. Within 10 minutes he was crying again. I knew at that point this was going to be a long night. Instead of having both Terence and I not get any sleep I sent Terence downstairs to sleep on the couch. Kids want their Moms when they are sick so there was no point in trying to fight it. I cleaned Corey up once again and had him lay with me in our bed. Every 10-20 minutes for the entire night Corey threw up. After the first couple of times there was nothing left in his stomach so he just ended up having dry heaves and spitting up stomach acid. He was miserable! I felt so bad because I now when a kid is sick like that there is nothing you can do but let it run its course. He must have been super uncomfortable because every time he woke up he moved to a different part of the room, one time he was sleeping on the floor, then he was up on our bed, then he was at the end of the bed with his head on my feet. Also at some point during the night Connor must have heard the commotion and decided to join us. He lay in my bed and talked to me and Corey most of the night. I actually did not mind having him in there because he helped me with Corey. Around 4am Corey asked me for some water, I was very conservative in the amount I gave him since I knew it was probably going to come back up anyway. Sure enough about 20 minutes after he drank the want Mt. Corsuvius blew. We had to change the sheets on the bed, the pillow cases, our clothes, his clothes everything. Unfortunately for Terence not only does he have a very sick little boy to take care of today he also has a lot of laundry to do. Hopefully this is just a quick bug and he gets to feeling better soon. Poor little guy!
