Again?!

Once again Avery went down quick for the count.  Before 1am last night she called for me from her room - which is very abnormal for her.  I went over and she was complaining about her belly.  I cuddled with her for a while after asking about the pain and was startled out of half-sleep by puke.  Mind you this is only the third puke episode she's ever had and it has been years.

Got her cleaned up and changed, pulled the sheets and blankets into the wash and moved us to my room after she seemed to be settled back down.  My efforts to cover things didn't go well so the next puke episode caused me to strip that bed as well.  Fortunately I have other sheets and we made due with blankets and towels.  At this point she knew what it felt like and was able to help out and subsequent waves were into a garbage can.  She finally fell asleep around 4 for an hour, waking again after 5 to puke again, then back out for a couple of hours.  When she got up to potty around 7 she threw up again, in the toilet.

I got her settled in and she slept for several hours without incident.  I stayed close and managed to go through my drawers to pull clothes for donation or to make space from those that don't fit right now.

At noonish she woke and claimed she felt really good.  A small sip of water stayed until 12:30 so I gave her another sip.  That stayed until 1pm so we came down and went outside to get a bit of sun since the weather is so nice today.  She isn't loving the pedialyte, so I gave her a freeze pop in an effort to get a little more fluid in.  So far so good.  She's now downstairs watching TV with a garbage can at her side.  I am hoping this one is over.
