Poor Ellie! She has just been getting beat up by little bugs for about two months now! The first was a weird little cold and fever that came with a light pink rash on her chest. She got it from Jack and then gave it to Graham and Daddy. Then Graham's Daddy got it! Yikes!
Next was a pukey virus that she came down with on the day of her birthday party. This one also came from Jack. She threw up the night of her party and even though I knew Jack had a pukey bug, I was hoping she was just sick from her first real sugar load. She didn't throw up again for two days and then it was pretty much non stop. Lots of loads of laundry and bed changes! I got really good at reading her puke cues, though, and was ready with a big bowl at least 50% of the time!
Then Saturday, she woke up with a chest cold! Yuck! Unfortunately, we had to miss her cousin Emmalee's birthday party. With all these little bugs, I just wanted to give her little body all the rest it needed to get better! Not to mention, through all of this, she's been getting her top two teeth!
So last night, she fell asleep around 12:30 am and woke up crying at 2:40 am. She finally fell asleep on the couch at 5:20 am. I'm hoping she will stay asleep for awhile. If she's asleep when I leave for work, she will stay home and I'll come pick her up later with Jack. Hopefully she'll sleep til around 10 or 11!
I hope her teeth cut through soon and that the viruses will stay away for a little while. This kid needs to get back on track! The day before her birthday party, she actually brought her potty to Scott and had a dry diaper. When she sat on the potty, she went right away. So she was basically telling him she needed to go. Then she got sick and she hasn't been interested again until yesterday. She was also getting to bed at a regular time before all of this. Now it's just been nuts.
