Busy two weeks


Sick baby!!!

We've had a pretty eventful last two weeks. It all began last Monday when Madison suddenly began throwing up and unable to stay awake. We ended up taking her to the ER because of the sudden onset and also she had hit her head. She threw up six times in three hours, was super sleepy, and hypothermic. She had a CT, which came back clear, and so we were sent home with the idea that she had a virus. By Wednesday she was much better which was good since my sister, her husband Mark, and my Mom were on their way down. Madison was fine for rest of the week and weekend as we moved Mic and Mark in. The only thing was that she wouldn't go to sleep Friday until almost 11 and then Sat. she was up off and on all night. On Sunday Mom flew home and Madison got sick again. It's wednesday now and she seems to be getting back to her normal self, but she still has a low fever and can get pretty fussy, but at least she is eating and drinking some. The doctor is checking to see if maybe she has a UTI because she really hasn't had any wet diapers even though she is drinking water.
I am feeling like a really bad mom right now. These last two weeks have been rough on me. Everybody knows that I don't handle vomit well and it's been very hard seeing my daughter feel so crappy and not being able to make her feel better. She is very clingy to me, which is understandable, but she hasn't slept through the night in weeks. I am also letting her eat whatever she wants when she wants just to get food in her. I'm just doubting what I'm doing since I feel like I have no idea what I'm doing.
