On a cold January night at 1:00 a.m., one very tired Mom heard a cough.<\/p>\n
“I bolted from my sleep to a standing, running position, with one leap made it to the bathroom, flipped on the light to find my 6-year-old daughter sitting on the edge of the tub. Stuff from her tummy was all over the floor, the lid of the toilet and all over herself. I proceeded to clean the floor and surrounding areas, then placed Sarah into the tub to wash down.<\/p>\n
“As I turned on the shower, Sarah said, “Mom!” with a wrinkled nose and hesitant voice, “I threw up on Collette too!” Collette is her 9-year-old sister who happens to share the bed. I closed the curtain and ran to see. I met Collette in the hallway and she said that Sarah had thrown up on her.<\/p>\n
“I turned on the bedroom light and much to my amazement was the dreaded sight of Sarah’s dinner on 5 blankets, 2 pillows, 2 sheets, a baby blanket and Collette’s pajamas. I bundled it all onto the bottom sheet and placed it at the back door. I put fresh bedding on the bed and placed a bucket beside Sarah. I crawled back in my own bed at which time my well-covered, half-asleep husband inquired, ‘WHAT’S WRONG?'”!<\/p>\n
