I used to have a fear of flying until I began to travel more frequently -- one year I flew five or six times, and with all that exposure I couldn't maintain my previous level of anxiety. Turns out that it's the same way with vomit.
I missed the first two times that Isaac ever threw up -- back in February, and then on Monday afternoon. I was there on Monday evening for the third time Isaac threw up, and at that point I was really worried about him. However, now that I've been on hand for the fourth, fifth, and sixth times, my fear is lessening. It's still a terrible experience to see my kid sick and miserable, but I'm a lot less anxious about it.
Okay, so I'm cured! Desensitization therapy completed! We don't need any more vomit, thanks.
