My poor baby

My youngest daughter S woke us up last night burning up with fever and then she started throwing up. This pattern repeated every couple hours last night, poor thing. Her fever has broke, but she's still out of it and now she's asleep on the couch. Maybe it's going to be a napping day for everyone.

Kiddo update

Well, the good news is she hasn't thrown up all day. But she still has the nasty headache and she's been sleeping a good part of the day. Me .. well, there's been laundry, cuddling and reading, movie, reading, knitting, cuddling, trip to market (Widgeon got home from school so I could go), sleeping kid, updating internet. Okay, not a bad way to spend the day - just wish she wasn't so sick.

Oh, and no nap for Mama yet, but hey, now I can do the seed stitch in knitting.

I spoke too soon

Well, shortly after I posted this afternoon, S woke abruptly from her sleep and barely made it to the bathroom before losing the water and little bit of chicken soup. Her temp? 104.2 *sigh* So, one call to the advice line yielded a late afternoon trip to the pediatrician to rule out strep. After another episode of losing her cookies and a few other pokes and prods....

Final result .... no strep, just a nasty stomach virus. Fever, vomiting for 12 to 24 hours, then maybe the other end for another day or so.

Looks like it's going to be a long week.
