Two sleepless nights

Yesterday K started throwing up at 3 p.m. and didn't stop until about 4:30 a.m. I spent the night in his room.

This morning he was still miserable, but at least keeping food down and showing signs of recovery. My plan for the day was to cuddle with him and supply him with Pedialyte.

Then I got called in to work on an "emergency". My work emergencies always involve large sums of money rather than, say, people's lives, and they often have to do with some artificial but urgent-to-the-client deadline, so the term "emergency" never seems quite accurate. Anyway, still here, with at least a few hours of work left that of course MUST be done IMMEDIATELY. Crossing my fingers that the roads won't be too icy on my way home and that K will sleep through the night.
