My sweet little princess is sick.
3:30 AM
Dini woke up a little after 2 AM. She had gotten sick and threw up in her bed. It took a while to extract her from the bed sheets and zipped up PJs without getting the throw up all over her. We still took a quick sponge bath just to make sure that nothing was on her. After getting her in some new PJs, I laid her on our bed for a few moment until I could get her bed remade. Once I had her back in her bed, with the door open in case she felt that she were going to throw up again (which she’s tried to force herself to throw up a couple of more times, but as she says “It’s too hard to come out.”) I brought her bedding down stairs and began de-funkifying it so that I could put it into the washer. That required me to finish the two loads of laundry that I had started earlier last evening. Dry towels in the dryer that needed folding so that I could put them somewhere, and then a load of stuff in the washer that needed to be put into the dryer. Her stuff is now in the washer on HOT, EXTRA HEAVY load setting.
Dini has gotten up several times to try to make herself throw up again. I figure her stomach must be hurting. About 15 minutes ago, after being sure that she wasn’t actually throwing anything new up, I gave her some of the anti-nausea medicine. She’s now laying on the couch with her lady bug blanket, with the TV on to distract her long enough to let herself relax and hopefully fall asleep again. All has been quiet for some time now, so hopefully she will fall asleep …. Never mind. She’s hollering for me.
I’m back. Now she’s throwing up out of the other end - diarrhea. Runny stuff. Fortunately the pull up held it all, and we don’t have to change PJs again. She’s back on the couch for right now. Told me that she doesn’t want to be covered up, and rolled over onto her right side o face away from the TV. She’s tired. I’m tired too, but figure I’ll camp out her for a while to see if I hear her getting back up again. I can hear her better from here than from laying in bed.
Oh. I snuck into Jack’s room before heading to bed earlier, and replaced Jack’s tooth with two one dollar bills. I put the envelope with the tooth in it in your nightstand drawer. I’ll not wake him up when I get up in the morning, and hopefully he will still be asleep when you get home in the morning, so you can see the surprise on his face when he finds the two dollars. That should be fun.
She’s calling again….
04:03 AM
Things have finally seemed to quiet down, and she has actually fallen back to sleep on the couch.
I just finished taking two Harris Poll Surveys while I was waiting to see if she would need me again, and all has been quiet for over 20 minutes now.
I’m going to go lay back down in bed and see if I can fall back to sleep. I’ll keep the door open, and the bathroom light on, in case she needs me or has to get up again.
