Evidently John picked up a 6-hour stomach bug last night. Yup, SIX hour. He started feeling bad around 4pm, complaining about his tummy hurting, fell asleep on the futon, didn't want to eat any dinner, started feeling really bad around 6:30, throwing up at 6:35, going to bed around 7pm, diarrhea at 8pm, back in bed, up at 8:30pm wanting to be up, read books with daddy, requested and received apple juice at 9:00, back to normal bedtime stalling tactics by 9:30. Slept all night (once he decided to stay in his bed), and was fine/normal this morning. Jumping on the little indoor trampoline by 4:30pm.
Whew! I count us very lucky, especially since this was the first time he has ever had a stomach bug. Pretty amazing for four-years-old.

Yeah, 6-hour bug is much better than the more normal 24- or 48-hour bug! Go John! I like that you count that lucky even though it is still a blog. Go you for being positive!
It could have been MUCH, MUCH worse. That's why I'm so positive...
what a little trooper he is!
wonder if it could it have been food poisoning? did he eat anything new or suspicious ~18 hours earlier?
He didn't eat anything the rest of us didn't... That I know of anyway. Except a dum-dum lollipop from Mimi. Hmmm.
No way! Dum dums are magic - not poison!
Glad it went by so fast. Maybe he can next start working on making cold last only 6 hours...
sorry - mimi
