2021 has been a challenging year so far. Seven and a half weeks in and Emma's probably been sick for 4 of those weeks. First it was a cold, then some kind of stomach virus and then a UTI and now that UTI just won't go away. She's been on antibiotics for 21 days so far with 9 more days to go.
Yay.
This time she took her dose in the morning and about 3 minutes later threw up. We gave her water and another dose and she promptly threw that up. After talking to a pediatrician (hers is on vacation) we decided to try an anti-vomiting medicine to try to get her to keep the antibiotic down. Otherwise she has to go in and get a booster shot of antibiotic. She had to have this last time she had a UTI a year ago and she STILL talks about it. Every time we go to the doctor she asks if she's going to get a shot. I so don't want to have to take her in to get a shot.
As she's throwing up for the third time in 2 hours this morning she was crying to me saying she just didn't want to be sick anymore. I don't want her to be sick either.
Thankfully, Olivia wasn't cranky today, but she still needs attention and junk and Emma was feeling so awful it was going to be difficult to get her motivated to go to the store to get some Gatorade. I mentioned that I needed to go out and get some Gatorade and 10 minutes later two friends showed up in my driveway with bottles of Gatorade and PowerAde in various flavors.
My friends are amazing. Seriously.
