The joys of a sick toddler.

[rivka]

Between six and eight this morning, we went through four sleepers, an undershirt, two parental bathrobes, two maternal shirts and a pair of maternal leggings, half a dozen cloth diapers, and three child-sized towels. Not to mention about a half-bottle each of surface and carpet cleaner.

Mercifully, since then the Pedialyte has been staying down. But pity us.

Oh, poor Alex! Poor Mamma! I hope she feels better very soon, and that you don't catch it!

Many good thoughts headed your way.

This is going to sound odd, but I don't actually think it's a stomach bug. She's coughing a lot, and I think the coughing (and the stomach full of phlegm) is what's making her throw up. It's more like infant spit-up than anything else. (Except in huge, huge, entire-bottle-of-cherry-Pedialyte quantities.) So I don't think either of us is likely to catch anything more than a garden-variety cold from her.

But you'd better believe that I'm washing my hands a lot, and keeping my fingers crossed!

That's why Edward throws up so much, too.

I do, I DO pity you. All the more because I've been there.
