Worst Weekend EVER!

Back in the day the worst weekend ever would mean you didn't get enough sleep and were dreading Monday morning when you had to get up early for bed. However as a parent that is all different. The worst weekend is when one of your children is violently ill and you get no sleep cause you are busy rocking your child, washing soiled bedding and clothes and going back and forth to the doctors! That is the worst weekend because there was nothing i could do to prevent it or make it better! So here goes my weekend.



Thursday night Camryn got sick at the table and projectile barfed across the table. I thought it must have been something she ate as she was gagging just before she threw up. We cleaned her up and then john walked aroudn with her while she did it two more times. Still thinking it was the food we took her home cause we were at my sisters and fed her her bedtime bottle and put her down. Half an hour after she is asleep there is a funny noise from her room and then crying. I run in and she is covered and i mean covered in vomit and so is everything else around her! eek. so we throw her in the tub and wash her up. She continues to vomit and so i say what the heck i am taking her to emergency. Camryn had the stomach fly at 2.5 months and was hospitalized for two days. I knwo how fast they can dehydrate. So i spend my night waitng in the waiting room lookin glike a liar cause camryn is smiling, and cooing and doing patty cake for everyone! But i stayed and the doctor saw her and said it might just be a gag reflex thing and to just skip formula for the night. So we bring her home at 1am and put her in her crib, 3am she wakes up barfing again, not too much seeings there really isn't anything in her stomach and then goes back to sleep. She woke up at 8:30 and i pick her up and she is HOT! I take her temperature and it is at 102. So i guess it has nothing to do with gag reflexes doctor but the stomach flu..great. All day she just lays on me and then barfs and then sleeps and then barfs she doesn't want anything. By 8pmI take her to my family doctor who is on call at the walk in clinic because she has not peed since the ngiht before. He seems concerend and tells me about gravol suppositories and tylenol suppositories...who knew.

Saturday morning John is woken up by a horrible smell he goes in to camryn;s room and discovers her sleeping in diarreah. It was soo bad. Poor little girl. She was a bit more like her self during the day but woudl want to eat but then have diarreah and then crash.

Today we skipped church as she still has diarreah she is sleeping ALOT, probably to catch up.. She is eating her bottles(which i just read you should not feed them formula when they have diarreah!oops) not sure what to do cause she will NOT drink that pedalyte stuff. She still has diarreah and a lot of cramping but no fever (or Beaver as janae would say). She just went down and is now sleeping so we'll see how the rest of the night goes and tomorrow. I feel so bad for janae cause she basically has been on her own. i am used to spending alot of my day with her and now all of my attention was on camryn because she just wanted to be held and sleep on me.
John took Janae saturday morning to the 4x4 show at the tradex where she had a blast and today john took her to the pool. It's great having a husband, you really appreciate them at times like this where you really need another person. Now my only fear is that Janae is going to get it. Oh i hope and pray she doens't. I really don't want to deal with another sick child.

It was so hot this weekend and with camryn having a fever and wanting to be on me all the time i sent john out to buy an aircondioner for the window. So we have been able to stay sane!



Well that is a lot of reading so i am going to call it quits for now. Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend. Please feel free to leave a comment so i know that you are still out there.

ok so it won't let me download any photos so i will next time.
