Poop vomit smell yuck

I knew something was "off" last night before I put Elijah to bed. He was acting funny and seemed uncomfortable in a way I've never seen before. I put him to bed knowing that something weird was going to happen in the middle of the night. It wasn't his normal croup routine, so I knew it wasn't going to be that..

I heard a gagging noise over the monitor at 8:30 and ran upstairs to find Elijah covered in vomit and crying. We threw him in the bath and changed his bedding and I started to rock him back to sleep. More puke. More changed clothes for both of us. Dan started to rock him. More puke. More changed clothes for both of them. This went on for quite a while. We went through almost every one of his blankies and every towel in our house. Our washing machine was working hard! I laid down with him on a mattress on his floor. He threw up a couple more times. It finally seemed like he didn't have anything left in his tummy to possibly throw up, so I put him back in his bed and laid down on the floor so I could hear if he threw up again. A little while later, more throwing up. More changed bedding, scrambling to find another blankie for him, another change of clothes. UGhghh!

Finally the throwing up stopped, but he didn't sleep very well. This morning he chugged some water like I've never seen him chug before. Fifteen minutes later, he threw it back up. I decided to go into work a couple hours late so I could get a little sleep. I woke up to Dan saying, "AGGhghhh!" I thought Elijah had thrown up again, but I found the two of them in the bathroom with poop everywhere (sorry Elijah for telling the internet about your poop...luckily you're a boy so you might think that's funny someday..)! Dan was gagging and Elijah was giggling so I started giggling. He hasn't had a fever at all and he appears to feel just fine unless he is in the act of throwing up, so I suppose those are good signs. So far today he has been ok. Dan said he ate some toast and a little water and has kept everything down.

Please keep our little man in your prayers. I feel like this is just a little quickly-passing thing, and I hope I am right. This next statement will tell you how much croup scares me.. I would rather experience a night like last night over a croup episode ANY DAY!
