First time throwing up

Other than his reflux my son has never thrown up until last night.

I heard him get out of bed so I got up to check on him and he said he couldn't go back to bed because he "SPIT". Like I said he hasn't thrown up before so he didn't know the word throw up but I think he did a great job of telling me what was wrong using his own words.

I told him to show me what he meant and he took me to his room where there were 3 good wet spots on his bed but the were clear with mucus so I was a bit unsure if he had vomited or not.

I changed his sheets and blankets and tucked him back into bed. Ten minutes later he was throwing up again. Poor guy was sick all night. Finally at 5am I was able to get him to keep down some toast and pedialyte.

He has been better today but has not eaten much and had a slight fever this evening.

I don't know what it is but sickness has been really awful this year...All my friends with kids have been sick several times this year.
