Lydia is feeling much better this morning. I said yesterday that I would take the sickness from her if I could, and it seems as if thats what transpired over night. I went to lay down at 7, and she began crying at 8 so Jeff brought her back to me so she could eat. She(we) fell asleep and stayed that way until 3 this morning when she woke up choking and coughing. We got up and got her some cough medicine and some more tylenol, and as soon as I gave her the medicine she threw up a handful of mucous. Poor kid. She did it again so I decided to let her tummy rest before trying to give her the meds. We sat there and watched a Baby E at 3 am, and I was finally able to get her some meds about 30 minutes later. About 4 I rocked her to sleep and she didnt cough for two hours. She woke up at 7 and is in high spirits, like she was never even sick at all. I am very happy about that, as I was thinking I might need to call the doc and move her appt from Thursday to today. I am pretty sure her fever broke last night too, as she started sweating really bad in the middle of the night and was burning up, and I keep it pretty cool in there.
But alas, I began getting a sore throat last night, and when we woke up at 3 it was worse and I could feel my nose getting stuffy. And now, well I feel like plain crapola. I think the sleep did do us all good, even though I couldnt really go back to sleep this morning after I got her back to sleep. I was waiting and listining to see if she was going to choke again. Thats life as a mommy though LOL. I would rather be sick than her any day, however, as I hate seeing her feel bad. And if she felt this bad then poor poor baby :(
BUt now shes propped up on a pillow watching a Baby E kicking and laughing so the world hasnt ended and shes my happy girl again:)
sick,
me,
