Kadee, Ethan and Bethany have had a cough for several weeks now, but just that, a cough. Kadee had finally fought off her bought with Thrush and I was hoping we’d be on the straight and narrow at least for a bit.
But, that’s where hoping, gets ya.
Saturday, Kadee starting vomiting her entire bottles up. It was so instant, the milk was fresh and not curdled. It was more like adult vomit and nowhere near what “spit up” consists of.
Then Sunday, I notice her hands and feet are awfully purple. So, just after finishing my coffee, knowing she needs to be seen, I’m realizing she needs to be seen, now!
I get my mother in-law to babysit Bethany and Ethan, while calling a neighbor to take us to the nearby InstaCare.
After four hours, we are sent home. They prescribed her some Zofran and a restricted diet of pedialyte. We were instructed that if she continued to vomit or had no wet diapers, we were to take her straight to the ER.
This morning, she is doing wonderfully and I am thinking everything *should* get better from here.
Beware, it’s those mornings when you think you can lounge around in pjs and yesterday’s t-shirt that all hell breaks loose. I’m going to start dressing for the zombie apocalypse and be prepared for anything. You’d think after three kids, I’d already know this!
Thank goodness she’s okay. I just ‘love’ when my kids scare me to death like that. Hayley recently had a spider bite on her hand the same day that her daddy knocked her to the ground while playing. Here we were thinking she had broken her arm or something because of how swollen it was.
PS your zombie apocalypse comment had me giggling like mad.
I’m glad to hear you’re little one is better.
Do you think it was allergies?
Children shake up our worlds.
