Illness is like children. Or at least children's illnesses. No handbook. Good luck figuring out what is going on, because once you do, it will change, and around you go again.
Kiera has thrown up three times this morning. Once before she woke up... then we gave her some leftover french toast and very diluted apple juice for breakfast to see what would happen. Up it came. Then, we cut it down to just apple juice to see about that. Okay, so I added one cracker, then another. Ok, so after a while a let her have one grape. Whoops. too much. Back to apple juice and cracker.
So, no fever, no prior symptoms... Just a sensitive stomach?
Fun stuff, like playing Operation, only when I mess up, I am steam cleaning the carpet! :-)
I am not complaining, really, just whining that kids can't wake up and tell me what I need to do to make them better..... You know, sit up in bed and say "don't feed me anything solid for 5 hours please. Then I will be better."
As always, any parenting thoughts and suggestions are alway appreciated, because on days like this, I feel completely incompetant.

I hope you guys feel better. Let me know if you want to cancle sunday. I have a ton of coupons. Whatever came of the coupon train?
Ooh, I feel for you - We've had a week like that here. My daughter threw up repeatedly last Monday night for about an hour and a half, then seemed to be fine. The next day she had a temp but acted like she felt fairly good. Then in the evening I noticed she looked pinkish all over. Forward to Wednesday - fever of almost 103 and it turns out she had scarlet fever! Geez. And I had even been at the doctor with her Monday afternoon to get our baby's regular checkup!! Sigh. It is so tough when you don't know what exactly is wrong, or how to make it better. And then when you DO know, convincing a sick little kid to take their medicine, drink their juice, take a nap, etc...can be impossible! I'm assuming now that's it's Sunday she's either feeling better for you, or you've discovered she has some particular illness (so many things can lead to vomiting in little kids!). I hope she is feeling much better!!!
