So it started Saturday afternoon when Kenzie had a weird "shart" in her diaper. I didn't think anything of it, we went to dinner with some friends and she was doing great. I got woken up by screaming around 3am and I went to check on her. Her whole room smelled of poo so I got her up to change her. IT WAS A MESS! All up her back, up on her stomach, all over her jammies and bed. Uck. It was diarrhea. So gross. So she was all whiney and upset so I took her to bed with us to calm her down and to get some sleep. By 5am she was awake so I went to put her in her bed. (she had gone to bed around 11pm and needed more sleep!) I heard her crying again around 7am so I went in to get her and she was, again, covered in yuck.
Sunday continued with bouts of the runs, she wouldn't eat or drink ANYTHING. I was starting to get worried because all she wanted to do was cuddle and she cried every time she farted/pooped. She hadn't had pee in her diaper for over 6 hours so I decided I wanted to take her to the ER to get checked out.
Long story short, the Dr. said she looked great and suggested we give her Gatorade. The nurse brought her 2 good-sized amounts of Gatorade and she gulped them down and was back to being naughty. We got home, she went to bed and I felt relieved........
.......not for long! At 2:45am I woke up to her screaming and coughing/choking. When I ran in I immediately smelt the puke. (Ugh, seriously!) I yelled at Russ as I grabbed her, went straight to the bathroom and undressed her in the tub. I got her out of her clothes and diaper and filled up the bath. (I called my mom and dad to come over at 3am, I was soooo scared!) She had such a bad bottom rash she was not thrilled about the bath. She wouldn't let me wash the yuck outta her hair so I did the best I could and got her dressed and into bed with Russ. My parents arrived just as I was getting started with cleaning up the mess in her bed. My mom took her and cuddled her as she fell asleep. They insisted I go get some rest and all I did was toss and turn in my bed until Russ was up at 5am to go to work.
It was a nightmare. I was so scared she was sicker than we thought. She slowly progressed Monday and today she was almost back to normal. She is eating, drinking and being her same old stubborn self. :)
Now with the good stuff :)

The bout of "the flu" was rough but I'd go through it all over again for my baby. (Not that i want her to be sick again.) I can't even count the number of nasty diapers I've changed let alone all the vomit I cleaned up this weekend. :(
(what cute pictures!)
ReplyDeleteI got your comment on my blog. I have had my d40x for 5 years now and it has served it's purpose for me. It's a Nikon. I like Nikon a lot. They sell them pretty cheap now, new they are like 799? I would go to Casey's camera (are you in Vegas?) and get a used camera that's been refurbished.
