Last night Mike started throwing up about 10:00. He didn’t stop for almost 12 hours. Needless to say, I did not go to work today as planned. I’m working from home while tending to Mike and L.J.
L.J. is on the mend and was a saint at the urgent care doc and subsequent Publix run this morning. He still isn’t really eating. He’ll take maybe 1-1.5 oz of formula. We’ve had more luck with coconut water, 2-3 oz at a time. Children’s tv shows are rather annoying, but Clifford kept him quiet so I could get some work done and Curious George put him to sleep. Don’t judge.
Mike is resting and has managed to go several hours without throwing up. He’s kept a little bland food and Gatorade down. Thank goodness. I really hope L.J. and I don’t catch whatever he’s got. At least he tested negative for flu.
I haven’t slept since Thursday night. I have a big project going on at work and I haven’t been able to get much done today. I’m just running on mommy adrenaline right now.
Welcome to motherhood :)

ReplyDeleteP.S. and thanks for providing me with a little giggle about the vomit on the upholstered wing chair. My friend (who is a seasoned mom of 3) says, "You aren't truly a parent until your kid barfs all over you and your furniture." You're there, girl!
