MOM!!!! I NEED YOU TO KEEP ME COMPANY....

Everyone wants their mommy when they don't feel good.  I remember this when I was little, and it's now my turn to be wanted.  Poor Daniel has had a stomach bug, going on day 5 today, around the clock.  As soon as I see him run toward the bathroom, I know within 30 seconds I'll hear him screaming, "MOM...I NEED YOU TO KEEP ME COMPANY!"  So just as my mom would've done when I was little, I'll go stand there in the doorway just watching him, yet feeling helpless.  It's heartbreaking to see him in such pain as his stomach continuosly cramps and there is nothing I can do but assure him that I will rub his back and belly when he gets off the pot.  Lots of rice, pasta, potatoes, bananas, yogurt, and 1/2 strength Gatorade is the given diet for my lil guy at this time.  I can't wait until this is over for him and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that no one else will get this nasty, nasty bug.  We are going to Disneyland in 1 1/2 weeks for crying out loud.  We need to get healthy and stay that way.
