This Too Shall Pass

"This too shall pass," I chant in my head. "This too shall pass. This too shall pass.........."

I keep telling this to myself, and right now I hope it's true. Vinny has already vomitted three times today. With vomitting comes the worry of dehydration, and the concern that he won't be able to absorb the antibiotics completely, if he keeps them down in the first place.

I spoke to the pediatric surgeon, "if he vomits one or two more times, you need to come to the ER to get him evaluated."

By ER, she means the ER in San Francisco, which is two hours away. Ugh. I've already started packing my bags.

We did give him anti-nausea medicine around 4 p.m. And he took his 5 o'clock antibiotic. So far no vomitting. But he hasn't ingested any water since then either because we don't want him to throw up his antibiotics.

Please pray. Thanks.
