Sick Kids and Tylenol PM

So, last night on Halloween, I learned the lesson....never take a Tylenol PM when you have sick kids! Averi was sick and throwing up starting Wednesday night, and I thought that was the end of it right? Wrong....Right before I head out the door to take the kids trick-or-treating, Wyatt pukes everywhere. I was thinking maybe it was because we switched him formulas that day. But, I was wrong. I strapped him in the stroller, and proceeded with our plans. Half way down the block, he throws up again, and I knew he had gotten exactly what Averi had. Steve had gotten home from work by this time, so we backtracked home to drop Wyatt off. The rest of the evening was fun, with Averi plowing over the other kids at everyones front doors. When I told her that she couldn't push other kids, she just put her hand on her hips, sighed, and said, "but I want my CANDY!"
Anyways, when we all got home and settled Ethan, Gavin, and Averi into bed, Wyatt still wasn't feeling well. Me, being the paranoid mom that I am, stayed up with him for hours, being afraid that if I laid him on his back in the bassinet, he would throw up and choke to death. He finally fell into a heavy sleep, and I knew he would stay that way all night. So, at about midnight, I took a Tylenol PM. All I wanted was one good night of sleep. You see, I don't sleep well anyways, and between me being sick earlier this week, and Averi keeping me awake all night on Wednesday, I felt like I hadn't slept in days!.......Bad idea. I learned last night that you cannot be mother of the year and take Tylenol PM. It was probably three or four in the morning, and Ethan comes into my room to inform me that Gavin had started throwing up. Me, being comatose from the sleeping pill, just told Ethan that everything was o.k. I guess, or so I have been told by Gavin, that he came in a bit later to ask if he could crawl into bed with me, because he wasn't feeling well. I told him flat out NO! (I always let the kids sleep in my bed when they are sick.) Then, he proceeded to tell me that he is throwing up. Instead of getting up to help and take care of him, I just mumbled to him, "just make sure you get it in the toilet!" Of course, I don't remember any of this, because I was finally getting my one night of good sleep! My poor six year old stayed awake the rest of the night, with only his brother to help him as he was sick and throwing up!........Moral of the story? Shoot me in the head if I ever take a Tylenol PM again! One good night of sleep is not worth the guilt you feel the next day for letting your son throw up by himself with only his brother to help take care of him.....and if anyone is wondering where Steve was through all this? Asleep on the couch!:) (The kids finally woke him up early in the morining to help take care of the situation while I slept in!) Poor Ethan, he got it too starting at about eight in the morning!
