The Flu

Sienna got the flu a few days ago. She woke up at night, but I couldn't see anything wrong. So I pull the blanket out from under her feet and put it back on her. In the morning I came in and her bed was covered in throw up. I felt awful for not looking closer into it since she was making noises all night. I was thrown up on 6 times in the first few hours and once a little later. One of those times she threw up and then moved to a dry spot on me and passed out. I didn't want to wake her up since she didn't nap, so I sat there as the throw up dried onto me and began to irritate my skin a bit. Not the day after but the day following I started feeling very sick, although thinking back I had a low appetite for several days before that. It is so hard to see your baby sick...if I had been asked when I was younger what I would have done if my baby threw up on me then fell asleep I don't think I would have said I would stay there until she wakes up on her own. I love her so much. I hope Sean doesn't get sick too.

  1. Ugh I am so sorry. I hope you feel better soon and that Sean stays healthy. Reynold was sick this last week and we both had our share of getting thrown up on (he had a fever/cold thing but the junk in his throat seemed to be triggering his gag reflex when he cried). It's amazing the love we feel for these little ones! And I feel so grateful for his good health now.

  2. What a great mom!!!! I am sorry Sienna was so sick and I hope you feel better. Being sick is not fun, but it is so hard to see your children sick. I am sure she appreciated the well needed nap :) Give Sean lots of extra vitamins, and hopefully he will stay well. Love you guys.
