Woken up at 1am - Aiden throwing up. Hate this part! He can't tell me if his stomach is just upset, or if he is really in pain. He doesn't understand the whole get it out thing - wants to hold it in. I can see the fear in his eyes - and try to hard to comfort. It's been two hours of on and off. The only thing he drinks is milk - and I am trying to hold off on giving him any - yet know he needs fluids to rehydrate. Thankfully at the moment he seems to be sleeping peacefully - but I am afraid to go to far - even though there is laundry that should be moved from the washer - and more to go in from the last couple of hours.
I so want to know if my holding him - stroking his back is meaningful to him. How can I convey that he shouldn't be afraid - I don't like that look of fear in his eyes - that he doesn't understand what is happening. Thankfully this doesn't happen often, for both of us.
Lord - just come and heal him. Touch his stomach - comfort him in ways I can't. Let him rest and get over this stomach bug or irritation or whatever it is.
