still no photos for the blog - new computer shoudl be up and running by later today.. but i can write posts.
this one is about my poor sick baby :(
penelope has had a cold for about 2 months now -and the doctor doesnt seem all that concerened - however we took her back in on tuesday because she was running a fever again, slight cough and not eating or drinking very well.
well - dr. said it looks liek she has some virus that is going around but she should be fine.
well - not so much. tuesda night about 5 - she threw up 5 times in a row. if anyone has ever seen a small baby puke - ti's pathetic. she looks so confused about what is coming out of her mouth. and she looks upat you with this "fix it" face. kills me.
called the exchange and they said to do pedialte for her - about an ounce every 5-10 mins. well after puking all she ate the day - penelope was hungry. and was FURIOUS when the ounce of pedialyte was gone (she loves the orange). she screamed the whole internvals between ounces for about an hour.
fun times.
we put her down at like 8 then she was up at 10ish and we fed her. i set my alarm that night to wakeu p and check on her to make sure no more puke or fever and she did great - slept most of the night. was pretty crabby the next day, cough is a bit grosser, but no more puke! yeah!
still not feeling great but I think we are over our first stomach bug.
feel better penny!
Not that it helps but my little man was pretty much sick with a 104 temp for 2 weeks out of every month the first year of his life. The pediatrician told me daycare was to blame but that they would either go thru it now or when they went to preschool. It was always just a virus. It does get better as they get older - I say that as mine has had a cold for the last 2 weeks. Hang in there momma!
