Model Patient

Becky came down with a stomach bug yesterday, but after a rough start this morning, I think she’s on the mend.  I really can’t complain; this is the first stomach-related illness we’ve had in the house in nearly a year, and Becky has been a model patient.  In the midst of her struggles this morning, she pitifully kept insisting, “I’m OK.  I’m OK.” 

Becky has indeed found an upside to her illness, namely: Pepsi.  My mom (my blessed go-to nurse at all times) suggested I give her some flat cola to help soothe her stomach, and Becky was instantly on board with that idea.  Maybe a little TOO on board.  You’d think from her ear-to-ear grinning that she had discovered she could drink candy.  Which I guess is a pretty apt description of Pepsi!
