) has come down with something.\u00a0 She was extremely tired yesterday and didn\u2019t eat lunch, instead opting for an early nap which is very much unlike her.\u00a0 After nap she was very lethargic and running a fever (though I was unable to track down a thermometer to see how high.)\u00a0 As she wasn\u2019t showing any other symptoms, I asked to see her tummy thinking it could be roseola.<\/span><\/p>\nRoseola is a viral infection that generally effects young children and involves a high fever and rash which appears on the tummy first. \u00a0Honeybun\u00a0had it just days before Sugarplum was born.\u00a0 It\u2019s not a big deal, you just have to wait for it to pass.<\/p>\n
Well, as Sugarplum lifted her shirt for me, she began whining and I could tell something was wrong.\u00a0 I pulled Doodle away from his feed, handed him to my mom and put Sugarplum on my lap, where she threw up.\u00a0 Everywhere!\u00a0 Poor girl, it just kept coming.\u00a0 When she was finally done, we both took a nice, long shower.<\/p>\n
We had dinner plans with a friend from college an hour after the ordeal started and Sugarplum insisted she still wanted to go. \u00a0I gave her a bowl to hold in the car and covered her chin to toes with a towel. \u00a0At dinner I kept her to only eating plain bread, applesauce and water and she seemed much better.\u00a0 Until midnight when she threw up all over her bed.<\/p>\n
This morning she seems okay again, but I\u2019m not taking any chances this time!\u00a0 I\u2019ve only given her small sips of water and some saltine crackers.\u00a0 We\u2019re headed off to brunch in a little while and I\u2019m not sure how that\u2019s going to go with keeping her away from too much rich stuff.\u00a0 I\u2019m really just hoping that she doesn\u2019t get sick again and most importantly that no one else gets sick either, especially tiny little Doodle!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
