Nov. 29th, 2007 11:04 pmJust call us Castle Barfenstein!
Tuesday night / Wednesday morning: Edgar is vomiting every ten minutes for 2.5 hours. She and I spend midnight to 6am at the ER, where she gets an x-ray to rule out an intestinal blockage, a catheter to get urine (second try is the charm), an IV with three boluses of fluids (again, second try is the charm), blood tests, thankfully pulled from her IV (once again, second try is the charm). We're finally sent home at 6 am with nothing out of the ordinary except a high white cell count, which indicates that she's mounting an infection. No more barfing after 3:30 am.
Wednesday, sleep from 6:30-11:00 am.
llnaughty and I both stay home because we've been up all night. Edgar starts barfing again around 11:45 and goes about four times between then and her dr appt at 2:45. Barfs right before we leave and then not again. Dr says she looks fine and to watch her. If she starts the barfing so frequently again, he will admit her to the hospital for danger of dehydration and she will get another IV. I would like to avoid that at all costs.
Wednesday night / Thursday morning:
llnaughty is up frequently throughout the night, barfing.
Thursday:
llnaughty continues barfing. My belly feels yucky. Baby does not barf until 3:30pm, just after I walk in the door from picking up Bob, who has been sent home from school for, you guessed it, barfing. I make her a bed on the chaise in the living room, and she sleeps the rest of the afternoon, until she decides she wants to lie down in bed with Daddy. They've both been asleep since about 6pm. I am currently sitting on the couch with Edgar trying not to barf until she goes back to sleep, so I don't have to wake up
llnaughty to hold her and listen to her cry while I barf. I have planned all my eating today with the sure knowledge that I will be seeing it again soon. The last two times I've had stomach flu were preceded by sushi (11/06) and El Pollo Loco (several months ago, but I don't remember when). It took me at least 7 months to eat sushi again and I'm still not interested in El Pollo Loco. I doubt I'll be working tomorrow.
