My son is better!

[Janet]

My son is feeling better, but he has been sleeping the whole day. I sure hope he can sleep tonight. He's only been out of bed once and for about 15 minutes.

I just noticed that I always say "my son." His name is Rick. When he was little we called him Ricky because his Dad is Rick too. He decided when he was 5 that he wanted to be called Rick "like his Dad." So when he's not around and I want people to know who I'm talking about I call him Ricky, but all the other times it's Rick. OR if I'm angry with him for something....it's RICHARD!

I'm glad that Rick's feeling better. I hate it when one of my family's sick. And I don't think that you ever mentioned his name before.

Aww Janet , what is ailing Rick? I know that there are plently of people getting sick. I am hope he is feeling better by tomorrow, its good that he is sleeping, your body needs to rest when not feeling well.

He stayed in bed all yesterday except for about 15 minutes late morning and then about 15 minutes last night. During that 15 minutes I gave him some Sprite and a couple of crackers. He threw it all up and went back to bed. It's 9:00 AM and he's still sleeping. I did check in on him and he stirred, but I didn't want to wake him. He wouldn't be sleeping so much I don't think if his body wasn't needing the rest.

I know he is sick (I'm guessing some kind of stomach flu) but I have NEVER seen him go this long without eating. I've never seen him go longer that 3 hours without eating...LOL. He's tall and skinny and eats something darn near every two hours.
