Well, as soon as you commend a child for not being sick...she gets sick! I think the real deal was the germs at the Dr. Go in for a well visit....back a few days later for a sick one!! What fun! Literally, we went to the Dr. on Friday and Lynley got sick on Wed.
On Wednesdays, we usually have Community Bible Study and we went to lunch with some friends afterward. Lynley was particularly fussy and I thought she was just tired. She did fall asleep in the car on the way home which is a first in several months. She then proceeded to not take a nap. On the way to choir, it happened!!! She threw up all over herself and the car. Poor thing! I pulled over when I could to clean her up and then headed home. Funniest thing is that Lynley cried all the way home not because she was sick but because she didn't get to go see Miss Pilar who watches her on Wed. while Mom and Dad sing in choir. Lynley loves her Miss Pilar!
Thank goodness we got home quickly as poor Lynley proceeded to get sick several times. At this point, we were really wishing she hadn't opted for Cherry Sprite at lunch!!! Seb was gracious to let me go to help a friend prepare eggs for a huge Easter egg hunt and he tended to Lynley. Lynley was unfortunately well aquainted with throwing up after watching me for the past several months and actually made it to the bathroom a few times. Thinking the worst was over, Seb put Lynley in her crib only for her to sick a few hours later. While cleaning up her bed, Seb made a pallet on the floor for Lynley and she fell asleep. There is a first time for everything....lets you know how sick she really was. She awoke again and got sick and we were so glad that the friend I went to visit had given us some children's Zofran (a wonder drug!!!). The Dr. had OKed us giving it to her should she awake sick again. This helped Lynley make it through the night.
The next day was another Dr. visit to be told it was a virus that would take a few days to pass through her system. Lynley didn't throw up much after that (only at night for the next two days) but she did get a fever that day and laid on me a lot...taking naps at random on me. It was the only way she would nap. I felt so sorry for her but enjoyed the snuggle time. She didn't eat much either as one might expect. It took her a few days to get to feeling better. Many have told me this must have been quite a bug as you usually get better in a day or two. It took her about 5 or 6 days for a complete recover. We knew she was better the day that she ate all day long....literally making up for lost time!
You will be glad to know that I have included no pictures in this blog! It is so hard to watch a little one be sick but so glad that she is better. I am thankful for a husband who took the brunt of it as the Lord knows that I couldn't handle much of that right now. We are also very blessed that the rest of us didn't get sick too.
I got very behind of blogging taking care of the precious love...but hoping to get back on track now.
