The boy slept ALL night last night. First time in a week. Phew! It appears perhaps the doctor was right and the virus has just had to work its way through his system. And I've also now heard from other mothers who tell me their children also had some other virus (strep, etc.) that manifested in stomach pain. I haven't heard any complaining about it at all in the last 24 hours. I'm feeling greatly encouraged. I keep asking how his tummy is and he tells me it's feeling better.
As a funny aside, we've been talking a lot this week about his immune system and how it's there to fight all the bugs and colds and illness that try to get into his body. We talk about how eating the right foods (which is all theoretical at this point with Ethan) and taking extra vitamin C (which he does) are things we do to help keep our immune system strong so it's able to fight the bugs and win. And he said, "It's like a knight, fighting a pirate!" ;) So, take that, stomach pain pirate!! My kid's knight is stronger than you! :)
Looks like we're on the mend. Now maybe I'll catch up on some sleep soon.
