On the mend...

I just realized that our last post's topic wasn't very pleasant; well this one isn't either! Sorry!

On Friday night, Holly developed a pretty bad stomach ache. She started throwing up at around 6pm and just kept throwing up. So finally at 10pm, we decided to take a trip down the the hospital (Grandpa Ron stayed over with Kaylee). Of course, it was pretty busy (I mean it was a Friday night!). We didn't end up getting into a room until around midnight. They gave her a couple bags of IV, some anti-vomiting/nausea drugs and some pain killer. They never really determined what exactly caused it. But we left the hospital around 3:30am (pretty tired and worn out, as you could imagine) and headed home hoping to get some rest. Holly headed to bed, and before I left the house to go fill a prescription, I decided to check on Kaylee. What did I find? The poor little girl had thrown up too (who knows when) and had been sleeping in her vomit! Besides being quite stinky (literally), it was a very scary sight! She woke up to my "Oh my goodness!" and as soon as I picked her up, her stomach started convulsing as if she needed to throw up again. So I rushed her into the bathroom, but she couldn't get anything out. All the while, her little tummy was convulsing and I couldn't tell if she was choking or couldn't breathe or what. Double scary! Well, she ended up sleeping on daddy's shoulder the rest of the night in between the 3 or 4 more trips to the bathroom. It was quite sad!

Well, Kaylee's doing much better now. She got over it the next day. Holly's still not there all the way, but is doing better. Wow...what a weekend, huh?!

We can't leave on that note! We do have some cute pics to share. Here's Kaylee helping mommy clean the house! What a big (little) helper!

All right mom - where do you want me!

Those little dust bunnies don't stand a chance!

Ha ha! I got 'em!

  5. We've all had that as parents. Boston & Jeremy got sick--almost exactly the same thing--when Boston was about 7 months old. Boston was throwing up for 2 days and had diarrhea for 10 days. Jeremy was sick for 2 days throwing up and stuff. It's a naste bug out there; sorry you all had to experience it. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. Hope Holly feels better soon!

    PS: Adorable pics as always of little Kaylee
    PSS: As the one who didn't get sick (like you and me), we're glad we didn't get sick, but oh the clean up is disgusting!--SORRY!

  6. Oh man! Having a sick little girl is not fun! But having two sick girls to take care of, wow! What a great husband! We have had the same thing going around our house. It is not that fun!

  7. How miserable for Holly and it's just so scary and so sad with the baby is sick like that. Hope everyone is recovered! :)

    I'm sure you get so tired of hearing this, or reading it, I guess, but she has got to be one of the cutest little girls EVER! You've got a little Gap Baby there.
