update

Well I am finally able to sit up without getting sick, so I thought I would do a little update.

After I posted my last entry, I started taking care of Brooke and trying to get her to keep anything down, as long as it was something.  When I had called the emergency doctor, I had asked her if it would be good to nurse her if she asked. I had already offered, but she didn't want to at the time that I offered. The doctor just said, "you're still nursing? How old is she?" I said, "16 months." Doc: "oh........" and didn't really answer my question. I figured that if she asked I would let her nurse. Well, aft4er an hour of keeping Pedialite down she asked to nurse and I nursed her, which helped her to sleep. Poor baby, she was so miserable and sick.

After a while, I started feeling really queasy myself. I said to DH, "I think I have it too" and then promptly ran to the bathroom and got sick. I was down for the rest of the day. Thank God for DH, he was wonderful!! He took care of everything, Brooke and myself, made us food, gave us our meds, and even cleaned the house. Brooke was still getting sick quite frequently, and he ended up having to change his shirt five times by the end of the day.  The only time he got frustrated was when Brooke and I were getting sick at the same time, I think he got overwhelmed. Other than that, he was a god send.

By 9pm, Brooke stopped finally getting sick and feeling better. BY 10pm, she was cautiously moving around and playing with her toys. I was still sick as a dog though, so I slept alone on the living room floor while Brooke slept with DH. During the night she got sick two more times.

This morning, Jason went to work and my Mom came up to help out. She was also a Godsend. She let me sleep the last of the illness off while she took care of Brooke, because she was still miserable and teething. I woke up an hour ago feeling fine, but I haven't attempted to eat anything yet. Brooke is still really cranky, and doesn't want to eat anything substantial, but is still walking around and nursing and not vomiting, so I think it is finally going to pass us.

Well that was our sick adventure.  The first time my poor Brookie was vomity sick, poor baby.  She was a trooper though, and took her meds every time we offered them.

Well I'm off to lay down and nurse brookie again, and wait for DH to come home. Ciao!!
