Holy Crap!

 The medicine is soooo expensive! It was $123 with the $30 discount that our insurance paid. The doctor's office gave me a $70 coupon for the first fill, so I paid $53. I don't know how we'll do it every month. 

 We gave it to him this morning, and with in 10 mins. he was telling me his tummy was hurting from the pill. I told him that it wasn't and it was a vitamin. (We don't want him thinking that there is something wrong with him and that's why he needs medicine.) He didn't have school today b/c of the Jewish holiday. (Happy New Year, to any one who is Jewish.) So he was going with his After School Program to the movies. So I told him we would get something to eat after we dropped Adrian off. He started complaining again about his stomach. Now I was starting to believe him. Joel and I can pretty much tell when he's faking. When he really doesn't feel good, he doesn't say much. He'll just tell you he doesn't feel good and then he's really quiet. Which is way out of character for Marsel. So he was going back in forth from complaining to be quiet. I was messing with, saying I must have left Marsel at Adrian's school b/c the back seat is so quiet. So anyway, I dropped him off and the lady there asked him what was wrong. I told her after he walked away, that he told a vitamin this morning and it was bothering his stomach. (We thought we wouldn't say anything at first so we can see if they notice a change in him.) I wasn't at work 10 mins. when I got the call that he had throw up. I talked to him on the phone and as soon as he heard my voice he started crying. He said "Mommy, I puked!" So I went and picked him up and took him back to work with me. He was still a little sad. He told me he didn't like throwing up. I told him that no one does. But once you do it, usually you'll feel better. So he laid down on the massage table and I covered him up. He ended up falling asleep for a little bit. Then when I had my appt., he was so good. I told him I would be in the room across the hall, and only come get me if something was wrong. He just stayed in there playing games on my phone. So we're home now and he's playing Guitar Hero with a friend. 

 I'm hoping he won't react the same way tomorrow. I know one of the side effects is a stomach. But it said that after awhile, that wouldn't happen anymore. How long is a little while? I don't want to torture him.
