The Stomach Flu

Sorry no updates lately. Gracie has had the stomach flu -- the worst she has ever had it. She was up from midnight to 5:00 a.m. on Thursday vomiting every 15 to 30 minutes. It wasn't pretty. We changed her beding and jammies so many times, our washing machine was on overdrive yesterday. Getting her seizure meds in her was a trial for all of us and no one came out of it unscathed. Yet, I couldn't blame her one bit for not wanting them...she just didn't want anything to eat.

Add to that fever and chills for the poor pumpkin. Today she seems to be feeling much better, although her appetite still isn't there. She did take her seizure meds effortlessly this morning, thank heavens. That is such a stresser for me.

I awoke in the middle of the night with the flu as well...I felt it coming on yesterday. So I am home from work today, as is Jeff. He is taking care of Gracie and I've been sleeping all day. It is so hard for Gracie to know that mommy is behind a closed door and she can't come see me. We tried to keep the door open, but she was there constantly and she needed to play, not feel bad for mommy.

We're hoping Jeff doesn't get it, but it is a strong bug. Daycare has it as well. So hopefully we will all be healthy this weekend so we can disinfect the house!

Sending vibes for good health your way.

Love,
Lisa, Jeff, and Gracie
