Grant was sent home early from Johnson Pond yesterday because he was throwing up.
Grant spit up a lot as a baby. A LOT. Poor Lisa would get him in one outfit, sit him up, and then immedaitely have to change it. Grant would projectile just enough to get it all over him - and sometimes on whoever was holding him. Usually Lisa who then had to change her outfit too. Once he hit his toddler years he stopped and then rarely - if ever puked.
Yesterday might have been the second time in memory that he truly could not keep anything down. Not rice, not juice, not even water. Lisa got the call and picked him up while I was at the University of Richmond on an inspection of their ROTC program. By the time I got home Grant was sprawled out on a blanket, barf bucket next to his head.
That poor guy was curled up with absolutely zero enegy in the tank. I lay down with him and we watched WALL-E and he fell asleep. He kept on sleeping so I replayed half the movie again.
When Grant got up he was thirsty. Fifteen minutes later water stayed down. An hour later Pedialyte stayed down. Some banana stayed down after that. His energy was at half a tank as he played walkie-talkies with his brother. Thankfully he hadn't napped through bedtime and he was asleep by 9:00pm.
At 5:55 he was on. The mischeivous grin was back.
That's our boy.
