Helpless

There's not a whole lot you can do for our babies when they are sick and for the first time I found that out with greta and possibly the stomach flu. Last night I woke up to her coughing and then crying and then crying saying wash hands. I immediately knew she at least spit up. But little did I know when I got to her and tried to wipe her hands on a wash cloth how bad it was.  All over herself and her sheet. And holy stink! 

So I cleaned her up. Stripped the bed and out new sheets, got a new blanket. And no sooner, she threw up again. Not as much and I caught most of it - nasty but didn't puke myself. So to the bathroom we went and got cleaned up again. More new clothes. This time I started a lot of laundry because her lovies were victims this time. 

So we moved to the couch to watch George with a bowl for our yuckies. And some water with a little apple juice in it. And then made it about 30 minutes and up it came but in the bowl. Ugh! 

Luckily everyone and everything stayed clean. So we cuddled up and waited. Finally went back to her room to rock in the chair and she quickly fell asleep. 

The strange thing after every time she was super happy once I got her cleaned up. Like she felt lots better and just had yucky food  in her to get out.

So I went to bed for a couple hours before getting up. Greta then slept in until  almost 8. And woke up happy and feeling good. 

So bad mommy I sent her to school. And got a call about 8:30 that she just wanted to be held. But she was ok and could stay so I wait til 11 and called to check. She was laying on her cot and feeling yucky. So I went and got her and she was sleeping by the time I got there. So home to rest ... And rest she did took a 3+ hour nap. 

Still a little down but no puking. So keeping my fingers crossed it was a weird stomach food thing and we don't all get the flu!
