Alex has had a bad week or two.<\/p>\n
Easrly last Wednsday night (March 3), he threw up at about 1am. He was distraught for the rest of the night, but felt pretty much OK the next day. Fine<\/em>, we thought, he throws up randomly from time to time.<\/em><\/p>\n Then on Friday (March 5), he started again. He was sick through Saturday morning, but felt better in the afternoon. The barfing was worse – we ended up with towels instead of cushion covers on most of the 3-seater sofa (I love<\/em> washable covers). But when it was over, we thought it was over.<\/p>\n So when he started crying at 3 this morning, we thought it was just a bad dream. Martin went through to him, then came to get me to do the long-traditional barf wash while he showered with the boy. This was made worse because we had Martin’s high-garlic garlic bread, and Alex had eaten rather a lot of it. I leave the fragrance to the imagination, dear reader. Trust me, though, imagination falls short – it took two washes, one at 90° C, to get the smell out of his bedclothes.<\/p>\n Now, the day after the night before, he seems better, but weak. We went out to pull my Dean Bridge<\/a> for maintenance, and then go hunt another one nearby<\/a>, but had to come home halfway through the project because he was so tired.<\/p>\n He doesn’t seem ill otherwise. After all the barfing he’s done over the years, we have learned that his digestive system is his “fuse”. When things go wrong, he throws up. I suspect that this is psychological rather than disease-related. More cuddles will be needed, clearly…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Alex has had a bad week or two.<\/p>\n Easrly last Wednsday night (March 3), he threw up at about 1am.
