A lazy morning (I'm getting so spoiled on vacation!). Puttered with this and that until it was time to take Jack to a doctor's appointment. He had a stomach bug about a month ago and continued to complain that he felt sick to his stomach. It seemed to be in is head (fear of barfing - he has so little experience with that!). He was easily distracted by friends and he seemed to complain most when it came time to go to school or church. But he kept complaining after school let out for vacation. And then one morning he decided he'd just stop eating for fear of throwing up. So I made an appointment. He explained to the doctor what was going on and had to answer all sorts of personal questions (you can imagine). The doctor took Jack quite seriously and ended up prescribing three medications (primarily in an effort to make sure that Jack's digestion was on track) and gave us a list of fiber rich foods. Between the copayment and the prescriptions we're into this more than $100! But I am hopeful that Jack will end up eating more healthfully as a result. Doctor's orders and all that. After the doctor, we had lunch out, then stopped by the grocery store to stock up on fiber filled foods we think Jack will eat. Jack picked out some funky African fruit called a kiwano (or horned melon). We haven't tried it yet. Other events worth noting: I emailed all of the artists in the show re the closing in a few days and when they can start gathering their pieces. And Jack went to sleep fairly early so Roger and I had time to watch a movie together. We watched Hancock with Will Smith. Very different than I expected, but I like it. Apparently I'm catching up on movies this week!
