Wow, what a week it's been. First an ear infection and now poor Sophie is fighting a stomach bug. It all started sometime Saturday morning, she woke up and apparently had thrown up in her crib (and I didn't hear it, tell me I don't feel horrible). Well from then things got worse, she throw up all of her formula all day on Saturday, most of the day Sunday, and still some on Monday. As of today she threw up twice (which we think is partially our fault, we resummed her antibiotic and we think that irritated her tummy). She's lost a little bit of weight because of it, but the doctor said that was normal.
Ricky took Sophie to the doctor today and she's on the mend. She's not dehydrated and he said we just need to keep giving her Pedialyte, formula, rice cereal, and some bananas. We're doing everything we should be doing, it's going to take a little while for her tummy to get back to normal. Poor kid, I understand how she feels. I got the stomach bug yesterday and had to stay home from work. Seems that it's going around Charleston pretty fast.
The good news, Sophie's ears are all clear so we don't need to continue antibiotics! At least one thing we know is gone. Plus she doesn't need to go for her 9 month checkup this week, no shots needed and she's as healthy as can be, despite this stupid virus! So she, hopefully, doesn't need to go back to the doctor until she's 12 months (and I can't believe that's 3 months away!!!).
Hopefully this is the last hoorah before the warmer months. I already don't have a lot of sick days left, urgh!! I'm confident that she will be back to her happy self very soon!
