Puny


Poor Addy has been sick all weekend. It started yesterday morning, she vomited up all of her breakfast. She hasn't thrown up in a really long time. She acted ok afterward, wasn't acting off or anything for awhile. A little later she was running a fever so I gave her some pedialyte and tylenol and she held that down ok. She seemed fine at lunch time so I went ahead and gave her her usual feed (didn't oral feed though) and she held it down fine. I went to Springfield to get things for my classroom and Scott said she slept well and was just a little lethargic when she got up. She was running another low temp so I gave her some more pedialyte and not 5 minutes later every drop came back up! She was still not 100% but acting ok. I went to Bunco and Scott texted me to let me know that she had been hiccuping for about 30 minutes and was afraid to feed her so he just gave her some water before bedtime and she held it down.

This morning when she got up she looked awful. As you can see in the picture she's pretty pale too. She was definitely showing signs of dehydration and had a full, messy diaper, and temp again. So I gave her just a couple of ounces of formula/pedialyte mixture with tylenol and she held it down. After her feeding she instantly fell asleep on me. I went on to church and Scott gave her more of the pedialyte/formula mixture a couple hours later and held it down. She has held down the mixture feeding all day, but was really tired and crabby. I'm hoping she is much better tomorrow and is back to her old self. I started work on Friday so I won't be home with her tomorrow. Thank goodness her nurse will be here to take care of her in case it's longer than a 48 hour bug!
