Oh, puke....
It has been a few hectic days, so time has gone pretty quickly so no posting lately. After Arianna's cold (much better from that) today she threw up after having lunch. First time ever that she throws up! I am not sure what got her sick :( , but she was in good spirit (meaning we were playing with toys). After Mike came from school, we tried to give her some liquids (some milk) which I guess was not a very good idea in retrospect and a few crackers, but she threw up that as well. Thankfully she was able to sleep and get some rest. We went to check on her after about 1-2 hr. after she felt asleep, and she woke up (I blame it on our creaky floors). She loves water (more than juice), so I was able to give her some much needed liquid and some rice cereal. I could tell she was hungry for more than cereal, but I did not want to upset her stomach. Hopefully, she will be better tomorrow. I think there is a bug going around. Mike felt sick to his stomach too (and no, they did not eat the same thing) :\

If it's stomach flu, we've been there. I remember calling the pedi and they said it's not necessary to come in unless they look real ill (eyes sunken, can't keep anything at all down, etc).
Keep a bucket around at all times or you'll regret it. They throw up so fast you can't get up in time to 'find it'. Kid pedialyte helps, target brand worked real well for us, he liked the orange flavored one. Keep milk to a minimum (no more than 2 oz. at a time, and keep all foods to a minimum OR in small portions). They will be real hungry and want MORE milk, MORE food, but you have to limit their intake or ALL of it will come up. So many times we gave him more food and milk and it all came up, and he was just as hungry as before. So small amounts wins the race. Hope she gets better soon!
