Emily and the Flu

Recently Emily contracted the flu from daycare and had to endure three days of high fever, body aches, and a constant runny nose.  She lost all her appetite and did not want to drink any fluids or take any medications.  We had to force Tamiflu and Tylenol down her throat to help her get better. 

Emily is very cranky and whiny when sick, as most of us are, and she wants to be held all the time, which is hard when you have another baby to look after.  Towards the end of her sickness she got a little worse and started vomiting whatever was in her belly, it was so horrible and I felt so bad for her.  But the next day she felt better and started to gain her appetite back so we took it slow and let her eat some jello and some yogurt while rehydrating her with Pedialyte and water.  Emily is better now but still has a little runny nose, which we are hoping she gets over soon because she has learned to wipe her nose on her hand, yuck!

My poor sick Emily!
