Not Feeling Well

Not me this time. Lee is sick. He has a fever and a horrible headache. He is downstairs, keeping his distance trying to get better. I brought him some chicken soup a half hour ago. I haven't had much of a chance to check up on him. Brandon is being particularly fussy today.

Well at about 10min to 1pm this afternoon, Brandon threw up all his milk. He was feeding at the time too. He just spit out the boob and then threw up on his right. Milk got into his hair and in his ear. Right now, the quilt is in the wash. I can't beleive how much milk came out of him. There was so much. Brandon cried for a bit and then became quite calm. He was a very brave boy when this all happened. Lee was on the bed, durring all this, trying to cool his dizzy head. I checked Brandon's temperature. His temp was normal. It's just not a happy thing when your child throw's up. Poor Brandon. I am doing my best to comfort him while I take care of Lee. Poor Lee is getting neglected. I should check on him.

My friend A is coming over tonight. Maybe when she gets here I can have her look after Brandon for a small bit of time while I get some laundry and dishes cleaned. I feel like panicing right now. I don't know if I can deal with this. But if I can, then I can do anything.

Your main thing to watch out for with a throwing-up baby is dehydration. If he is still having lots of wet diapers he is probably okay. If you think he might be getting dehydrated call health-link and they can tell you the signs to look for, like sticky spit and lethargy.

I remember when Draya had her first major throw up like that. It was almost like she had turned into Linda Blair from the Exorcist. I half expected her head to turn all the way around too:)

When I was a baby I had an over-active gag reflex. My parents could only feed me a small amount of fluid at a time or HEL-LOOO PROJECTILE VOMITING!

Apparently, even after my worst ones (out the nose and everything) I would always turn to my parents who were covered in my puke and flash them with a big grin.
