Vomit, Poo, and a Bloody Nose
Thursday, September 17, 2009 Posted In Sick Kids Edit This 7 Comments »
As a mother, vomitting and diarrhea is nothing new. But it never fails to amaze me the body's ability to completely disgrace itself and let loose on both ends at the same time.
To an adult, it sucks but cannot be helped.
To a child, it's unsettling and scary. Add a random bloody nose to the mix and it's quite the mess.
And I now know from experience that only motherhood provides that there is no good way to keep a cloth on a bloody nose while throwing up and sh*tting your guts out.
Needless to say, by 7 am it was quite apparent that Daelyn was not going to school today and that it would be a day for scrubbing toilets and floors and washing towels.

You know that saying, "everything comes in threes."
I hope that you've met your deductible of threes and that for the rest of the year you'll be V,D and B free! :)
E~
I mean she! I hope SHE feels better.
(I really need to spend more time with women-I've got boys on the brain!)
*uh, that didn't sound right. When is blogger going to create an option that shows expression in the comment field? =)
If I would've just stuck with having one kid, I wouldn't have run into these problems, she is "sick free"....but, I had more, and they.brought.it.
Oh no! I hope she feels better soon. So many kids have been sick lately.
Oh... poor girl. Hope she's feeling better this afternoon.
Hope she is feeling better and you aren't having to clean up any poo, upchuck, or blood.
Poor Daelyn!!!! That had to be awful scary for her :( Hope she's feeling better now!
