Stomach Flu - Round #2
Yup,
Addy has the stomach flu for the 2nd time this winter season. Poor
thing is having a rough go at it. She threw up her entire breakfast
this morning and got down to throwing up phelgm. She's completely
depleted and refusing everything. I've gotten about 10oz of Pedialyte
in her and a little bit of applesauce (she loves cinnamon, so I got
cinnamon applesauce). She went to bed at 6:15...poor girl 
Then got up because she was obviously hurting again at which point she threw up pedialyte.
We've only had 2 diaper changes today.. 1 wet, 1 dirty. I'm hoping by tomorrow morning after a good night's rest that she'll eat some plain waffles or cinnamon toast and drink a good chunk of juice or pedialyte. I even made sure to get her the apple flavor this time. I usually buy the off-brand, but after I watched her literally gag and puke up everything and refuse sprite, I bought all I could of her favorite flavor. She usually will drink the grape or fruit punch...but loves the apple the most..
She's now sleeping on me all bundled up. We've been through I don't know how many outfits today.. for puke and her spitting her motrin out. I'm almost forcing that in her. She was hurting so bad today.. literally laying her head on a pillow and crying. We talked to one of our coworkers who's granddaughter had the stomach flu a few weeks back and she complained of a headache, so since Addy was a little warm, we've been rotating motrin and tylenol to give her some comfort...
And, Daddy is gone until late tomorrow She cried so hard when he left... He did bring her a big singing balloon from the store for V-Day..
*sigh* Sick babies are just no fun!
