rivkaWhen Colin threw up last night he had a mouthful of food, and we figured that he choked. He seemed to feel perfectly fine.
Then this morning we took him down for the hotel breakfast and he threw up massive amounts of what seemed to be undigested breastmilk. All over the table. 90 minutes before our train.
He had dry heaves at the train station and threw up the few sips of water we'd given him.
I'm nursing him because he needs hydration rather desperately, but I fear the likely result. We've got a five-hour train journey on Amtrak's busiest day of the year. Because it's the end of our trip, Michael and I are down to one clean shirt each, and Colin has one clean outfit and one pair of pajamas. We do, at least, have a good supply of wet wipes and plastic grocery bags.
I wish to say, for the record, that I am not having fun.
