Sick, Sick Jack Attack

This morning we had a bit of an interesting time. During the night we ran out of Jack's normal soy formula because he had been a big eater the day before. We thought he wouldn't have any trouble just having a bottle with Jett's normal formula, but boy were we wrong. Jack drank the bottle just fine and fell back asleep, but when he woke up all hell broke loose.

First he projectile vomited the formula still in his stomach, and then he proceeded to dry heave up the stomach acid he had left for the next few hours. I had left to get new soy formula at Target this morning when the ordeal first started, and when I got home he was stripped to nothing but his diaper and stayed that way for most of the day.

He spent two hours in the bed with me right after I got home, then he woke up for about 20 minutes, dry heaved six or seven times, and then was so exhausted he fell right back to sleep on my shoulder within minutes. He spent about three hours on the living room floor so we could keep an eye on him if he threw up again. Luckily when he woke up from this nap he was a happy camper having purged all of whatever was bothering him.
