The shortest lived virus...

that I have ever seen...And Praise the Lord for that! So Monday night we were a happy little family...Everyone ate, played, went to bed, slept through the night, etc... EVERYTHING was fine and dandy...Tuesday morning rolls around...and it is the usual routine, I get the kids out of bed at 6:20 (yes, they are still asleep because they have an hour drive ahead of them!) get them in their seats and away we go...Like every other workday for me! We had just left Whiteville and Avery starts coughing and throws up this "orange juice-like" consistency...very weird and afterward asked for her breakfast...So I give it to her and she falls asleep (without eating it!) We get on 385 and she start projectile vomiting and won't stop, gets choked on it and starts to turn a hint of blue (never good) So I pull over immediately and lean her forward to get all of it out of her throat...and it is EVERYWHERE...But then afterward...she is fine...No fever, no crankiness...So I get back in the car and continue on my drive to Denise's house and we were approx. 7 minutes from her house and she starts again...No one person should have THAT much in there body, esp. one that weighs 24lbs... SO I pull over for the third time and clean her up (Keep in mind that I HATE throw up!) and again afterward...she and Brenly start laughing together! I get to Denise's house and tell her what has transpired in the past hour! She tells me to leave her ( I have one patient at 8:15 and didn't have another until 9:45) and to call after my first patient! I call and she says that she has not STOPPED throwing up since I left..GREAT! So I cancel ALL of my patients and drive back to get her...call the doctors office and they give us an appointment! On the way to the doctor, she started AGAIN..that makes like 12 times that she had thrown up since 6:30..It was now 10:30! I took her in and the doctor listened to her belly and she said that it was ROLLIN...she told me that there is a real weird virus that is going around that literally only last for a couple of hours, but while you have it you are miserable! Dr. Cindy gave her some phenegren lotion to rub on her wrist, she took a nap in the car and we never had another problem!!! Now I just hope that Avery hasn't shared it with us! Pray that none of the rest of us get that monster of a virus! Is that just WEIRD?!?!?!

Bless her little heart!!!! You are right, no baby should have that much stuff come out of her EVER!!!!!!!! So glad that she is feeling better and praying that Brenly doesn't catch it. And bless you too, I can handle throw-up, but I have never dealt with that much...not sure that i could!
