Heaven and a not so fun first...

All seemed well when I picked the kids up from school today...yet, things are never quite as they seem!

When I got home, Ella began throwing-up uncontrollably! It was crazy scary! She threw-up close to 10 times in less than an hour.

Not knowing what was causing the vomiting and worrying that she might soon dehydrate, we dropped Grayson with his grandparents and headed for the ER. Of course, by the time we arrive, she is no longer vomiting. (I always feel slightly like a liar when we get to the ER and they seem fine, but my fear of looking stupid could never stop me from taking them!)

They took a bunch of x-rays and checked her out from head to toe, but could not figure out the true cause of the vomiting...

So, 4 1/2 hours late we are at home...watching...

Funny/sweet/sad though...When we picked Grayson up it was close to 10:00. He, of course, wanted to know if Ella was still sick. We told him "a little, but she will be fine."

He said, "Oh, is she going to die?" We told him no...that she will be okay.

Somewhat confused he said, "When Papa was sick he died...and now he lives in the clouds....in heaven." We did not know what to say...

"Ella is a different kind of sick. She is not sick like Papa was."

"Oh, but it is okay to be in the clouds...it is happy there."

"It is; you are right, but my prayer is that you will not go there for the LONGEST time."

With that, he proceeded to start telling us about his bubbles and ball he bribed out of his Aunt Emily!
