A little disclaimer - I realize I've had it much easier than most.
So when I picked my daughter (Hayden) up from daycare today she just wasn't herself. Very fussy, tenderhearted, just wanted to be held, but never seemed comfortable. My wife got home about 30 minutes later (6pm) and we decided to take her to urgent care. Just as we were ready to leave she vomitted all over me. I change my shirt and my daughter real quick and hurry out the door since they were closing in 30 mintes. We get in right as they're closing, they give Hayden some water and 10 minutes later vomits all over my wife and then me. They send us home with antibiotics for an ear infection and tell us if she can't keep them down we need to go to the ER so she doesn't get too dehydrated. I give her a bath, the antibiotics, and then 10 minutes later vomits on me again. I change her again, we jump in the truck and head to the ER. It's now close to 9pm and I'm sitting in the ER reaking of vomit, but can only think that I'd give my left arm if she could only feel comfortable. Luckily they called us in, gave her a pill to help her tummy, and then made us wait our 2 hours (which seemed like 10) because she wanted to sleep so badly, but couldn't get comfortable enough to do so. She's doing better right now, and I hope she's able to sleep well tonight, as it was just too difficult watching her suffer like that tonight. I know we're very lucky that this is the first time we've had to go through anything like this other than a couple colds and fevers.
Props to my wife who's due in 10 days and handled the long night like a champ. I hope she's able to get some rest tonight too.
Thrown up on 3 times, reaking of puke while sitting in the ER lobby, daughter finally resting and comfortable...PRICELESS!
Sorry for the long read.
