She's better. Nope, wait a minute...

Yesterday Lily was back to her usual rambunctious self after feeling really lousy at the end of last week. This morning I knew something was up because she got up and went straight to the refrigerator, got her sippy cup out, turned on the tv, and covered herself up on the couch. No demands for little snacks, no demanding mom to get up and cover her up and turn the tv. I was so shocked, I first thought someone had broken into the house when I heard her and I knew she hadn't come to wake me up. I knew Sam spent the nite with Lea at mom's and Brad was still in the bed beside me. Anyway, I cuddled up to her on the couch and I noticed immediately that she was very "ragdoll"-ish. She didn't speak to me (now THAT is unusual) and she didn't smile. We laid there for about thirty minutes and out of nowhere she threw up all over the side of the couch and the floor. Cleaned that up and got her a pedialyte popsicle. She laid there and sucked on the popsicle for a minute or two and threw up again. She looked miserable. Glassy eyes, pale skin, just pitiful. She fell asleep and slept for about an hour and when she woke up she seemed to feel much better. She has eaten a whole plain rice cake and she's had two pedialyte pops and she has kept them down. She has talked a little but she's still not moved off the couch. I offered to get her dressed but she said no. She looks like she might fall back asleep any minute. I did manage to get her antibiotic in her and so far (knock on wood) it has stayed down. It's like I told Daddy, she can be so aggravating sometimes, talking nonstop and having all that energy. The when she doesn't feel good and that part of her personality is gone, you really miss it. I can remember taking Sam for well-checks at the doctor when he was little and finding double ear infections. He never let us know when he felt bad. He didn't cry or fuss or anything. She's not fussy or anything like that, but she just isn't her usual happy self and that's enough to let me know that something is not right with her.
