fever and sickness

my poor wee darling!

went to work on thursday night and within an hour had a call to come home, little princess was throwing up all over Gak, and was very poorly

rushed home and found Gak covered in mmm not very nice stuff and little tiana just hanging on, sweating and looking so pale. got tia changed and off to the hospital, was seen within minutes, the doctor taking a real good look at her - he even did a tummy scan - and we were sent home(thankfully) with rehydration fluids, a yummy medicine to reduce her fever, and a acidbaccilus(spelling?).

i spent the night awake and trying to keep her fever below 40, with damp towels, the fan on, and worried like i have never been in my life before. she was so helpless, listless and soooo quiet, which for a baby as noisy and active as tiana was the most worrying thing.

yesterday she slept on and off all day clinging to me, spitting out her yummy medicines and eating boobie like there was no tomorrow. it does amaze me that my body can respond to her need for boobie and keep making milk even though she doesnt drink that much normally

today she is a little subdued, but nearly back to her normal noisy self and it is so nice nice to hear her laugh and shout
