Chase was sick again today so his adventure was a trip to Dr. Charles' office. Chase was sick to his stomach a couple of times at home and one time at Nanaw's this morning. At the doctor's office, he was a little angel. He played with a new table toy in the waiting area and then chatted to the nurse and to Dr. Charles, being very charming and friendly. Chase weighed 33 pounds and was able to point to his heart when the nurse asked him where his heart was so she could listen to it. Dr. Charles says Chase the viral stomach upset that's going around. He recommended that Chase drink Pedialyte or diluted Gatorade for hydration. Chase can eat crackers, noodles or other starchy pasta, bananas, applesauce and toast. Last week's episode only lasted 24 hours so hopefully this one will do the same. Nanaw and Chase stopped at Walmart on their way home from the doctor's to get Pedialyte and hand sanitizers. Dr. Charles says it's good to use sanitizers because that's how the stomach upset germs are passed along; they're nor airborne. Chase ate crackers and Pedialyte for lunch and then took a four-hour nap in the afternoon. When Nanaw took him home, he asked to listen to the Berenstain new kitten audiobook -- it was very cute..
