Oh, what a night ...

Yes, indeed !! It started when Malú didn't want to eat yesterday when she came home from daycare. I thought, she was just tired, but when I told her to go lay on the couch, she stayed there. In the end, she had a few bites. Her night started ok, but then when we went to bed, she was crying. Her ears hurt, so I got her up and gave her nose spray (it helps to clear the ears up). I put her back to bed and we went to bed. Then around 5.30am this morning, she started crying again. She said her stomach hurt and she gagged. I quickly got her out of bed and she threw up a little. She also had a slight fever. We put her back to bed and she called for us around 9am, at least a little bit of a sleep in (thankgod she got sick on a day I don't work !!). I got up with her and she didn't want to eat. She said her stomach hurt, which is normally bad news and she again threw up a little on the kitchen floor. She just had a little bit of rusk (rusk to me is food for when you are sick). Then we sat on the couch and watched tv. We don't normally, but I let her when she is not feeling well. For lunch she aparently was hungry as she had a couple of bites from Herbert's bread and then had her own. She went to bed to nap, but it was only a short one (about an hour). I did laundry in the meantime. She played as normal and I read her books until it was time for dinner. She just had a little bit of rice. She didn't want to eat desert either, so I know she was not feeling well. She had a slight fever again. She acted normal though, played after dinner. Bedtime was fine. We have the baby moniter on and we can hear her cough a lot. So far so good. Hope the night will go well as I have to work tomorrow, but will be on the late shift (I start at 10am).
I'm off to bed now too. I tend to go to bed (too) late, so I should take better care of myself. Until the next one !!
Love, Astrid xx
