Thursday night Abi fell asleep on the floor and wasn't quite herself when she woke up an hour or so later. She wouldn't eat dinner at all. Then she went to bed at pretty close to normal time even though she had taken a very late nap. Yesterday she woke up and said she wasn't hungry so she didn't eat anything but did drink some milk. She was acting totally normal besides this so I wasn't sure what was going on. We had a movie with some popcorn and she ate a few bites but that was all.. then for dinner I made her some Dora chicken noodle soup. She ate about half a bowl and then was done. She went to bed pretty quickly. Then this morning we heard her crying at about 6 am and Doug went to check on her. She wasn't in her room. We found her downstairs on the couch. She said she was hungry so I made some eggs and raisin toast and put it at the table but she wouldn't go over. We just thought she was grumpy (note to self: when Abi acts grumpy in the morning she is usually sick) then after a little while she kind of whined and then burped really loud. It was then that I knew she was going to throw up.
I carried her into the kitchen to try to find a big plastic bowl but we didn't get it in time so she threw up all over herself and the floor. It wasn't too gross since she hasn't been eating anything but I mopped the floor and Doug got a bath ready for her. We cleaned her off and set up a little bed in our room for her. She has thrown up once more already. Every few minutes she'll cry a little and grab the garbage can but nothing will happen. She's drinking water but she looks so miserable. It makes me feel so sad.
Like I've said before since she is so rarely sick- when she is I feel so nervous hoping it's not too serious and wondering what I should be doing more than I'm doing. It makes me feel so helpless.
Anyway, rant over...

Poor Abi! I hope she feels better soon.
That is sad--hope she feels better soon!
GET WELL ABI!
Hope she gets better...so is this H1N1 or what?
No, she's already feeling better. She never had a fever... just a little warm. She was just tired, not hungry, and throwing up. We gave her pedialyte and she seems to be getting over it.
ugh! I am sorry! I hate when kids are sick! It's so sad!
It's stressful and hard when they're sick. I'm glad she's feeling better now!
