We were having such a great holiday time – with the Winter Wiggle, then Makai’s Christmas concert at school. Dallas was out, but I picked Makai up after school and we made mac n cheese and sloppy joes for dinner. We watched the Lunch Lady Land skit on YouTube and sang about Sloppy Joes. We were watching Home Alone for the first time after dinner when Makai started saying his stomach hurt. I kind of blew it off. He was still belly laughing at the burglar scene in the movie. He tried to use the bathroom and was crying his stomach hurt liek when we were in Hawaii (which was dehydrated cramping). I brought him upstairs to take some Tums. And he wouldn’t so I tried to get him to lay down in bed. Makai has thrown up only a few times in his life, so it wasn’t until he was barfing on me, on the bed, all over the floor that I thought of it.
Sparing the details, he got sick 5-6 times that night. Second time was on the guest room bed. The other times Dallas was sleeping on the sectional with him and he hit the bucket. Thankfully.
Fast forward a couple days. Makai was feeling better, we missed our family Christmas celebration, and we bought a carpet cleaner out of pure necessity.
