Not Feeling So Good
Lucy got another nasty stomach bug yesterday. This is probably the worst one yet. She apparently had a few diarrhea diapers at school yesterday. I didn’t think much of it, because we just started veggie solids the day before (squash). So I just figured I would stick to rice cereal that night. But on the way home, she ate a few ounces of formula and proceeded to give it right back – all over herself, the carseat, and the car. Imagine Ben trying to clean a pool of white vomit in the bottom of the carseat – pretty shnasty. It was all downhill after that. She couldn’t keep anything down last night – not even water. Poor little thing. It was a rough night.
This morning, we took her to the doctor, and we’re trying to get her as hydrated as possible. Thankfully, she hasn’t had any bad vomiting episodes today, thus far. But, she developed a fever a few hours ago. So….another call into the doctor to make sure that we don’t need to change course. Like I said, at least she is keeping things down now – usually water or the occasional watered-down bottle of formula. Other than that, she has been sleeping the day away – probably a good thing. And if you know Lucy, you’ll know that naptime is a foreign concept to her. So this is very unusual. Buth thankfully she has a nice little teddy bear pillow to snuggle on (thanks Cora Lea). Hopefully it will pass in the next day or so.
