This month has been ROUGH.
My child caught the flu (influenza type B) and I spent over a week looking after her round the clock... we even ended up at the pediatric ER.
She had her first "back to normal" day last Thursday and 5 days of perfect health.
Well, I was woken up at 4:00am by her cries... she got sick multiple times, so I spent the rest of the night lying on the hardwood floor (on a blanket at least) with a bucket next to me, ready to sprint into action. Apparently there's a new stomach bug going around that fits her symptoms to a tee (according to a nurse on the phone, from the pediatric ER).
There is some levity, though. A funny / tragic story we will definitely tell her when she's older.
Being anti-processed foods and sodas / only for whole foods can at times be counterproductive. My mother and I were pleading with my 4-year-old at 5am to have a little bit of Coca Cola - without bubbles - to settle her stomach. She screamed she didn't want it and even threw a semi-filled cup of Cola at us.
My mom was like: "but kids love it! Haven't you ever tried it at a kids' party?" I looked at my mom and went: "No, all our friends are also like that" - you know, private school, whole foods, all natural and organic stuff.
I will make sure to tell my little one the Coca Cola story when she is older.
Rough times.
I will be offline most of the day.
Oh and thanks for all your help yesterday with my VPN issues, you rock.
