Ruby came down with a little stomach bug two nights ago. She woke up with puke on her and her bed in the middle of the night screaming. When I went in there to see what was wrong she was so hysterically scared, it broke my heart. I picked her up, changed her and pulled her bedding off and replaced it. I hugged and nursed her for a little while and then laid her back down. She slept solid until 9:30 in the morning and when I went in to get her I noticed she had puke on her and her bedding again.
After I changed her and her bed I tried to feed her breakfast and she didn't want anything to do with it. So I gave her some water and let her crawl around and play. She seemed fine for most of the day, just a little fussy and clingy but no more puke. Once she woke up from her afternoon nap she was crying and kicking. It seemed like her tummy hurt and then a couple second later she had the most fowl smelling diarrhea. This happen a couple more time in the next hour or so. She seemed tired so we went into her room and read some books and I nursed her. After nursing her I just held her as she snuggled into my neck. Then out of no where she reared back and projectile puked all over my hair and down my front.
Once I got her changed, again, I put her down in her crib and went and cleaned myself up. She slept like a little angel last night only waking up once. This morning she seemed to be feeling better, just a little low on energy.
Because of Dan's schedule on Thursday he doesn't get to see Ruby. He felt bad about not seeing her and her being sick he took a half day off today.
Since it was nice out and everyone was home we went for a little stroll on the wetlands. I figured Ruby might enjoy the fresh air, I know I do when I am feeling lousy.
