The occasional vomit

My week ended badly!  Phone call from daycare - "Hi, Mom.  We are calling to tell you your daughter threw up all over the classroom."  Oh, nice!  Once I get there, of course I get the token letter - "your child may not attend class tomorrow due to illness."  Diarrhea or Vomit was checked.  Apparently she spewed all over the teacher and the desks.  Great!

So, we spent all of Friday at home.  Watching movies and just hangin' out.  All day yesterday and all this morning, all I heard was "I feel better."  No presence of chunks flying.  Awesome!  Let's go shopping for our weekend errands - when else do I have time to shop?!  After making 3 stops, we headed to the liquor store to pick up some brews for a co-worker's football party tomorrow.  We round the corner and I hear "My tummy hurts!"  Followed by a burp and WOW!!  A fountain of chunks and that pungent puke smell came flying at me!  Holy Moly!  Right in the middle of the isle!  I look up and the guy a few isles over has his face mangled in disgust and horror, knowing that he has to clean up the mess!  My shirt is soaked!  My pants are worse!  And wait, I wore flip-flops so I had icky goeyness all between my toes!  Yuck!  What do I do?  She says "I feel better."  I certainly hope so!  After ensuring no one fell in the largest puddle I've seen from a small child, I ran!  Yes, Ran out of the store!  Beer?  Well, I decided I didn't need it - too many puke and alcohol memories from my campus days!

  • Oh no. Do check to see if she has a lactose intolerance. (Milk or Dairy) this could be a cause of what is going on with her. Make sure that she has NOT been in contact with anyone with the H1N1 (God Forbid), or worse. If it keeps up, take her to see her Pedi....good luck...(from a girl that has lactose intolerance)

  • Sounds like you were pretty disgusted with getting the stuff all over yourself but there was not much sympathy for the teacher and cleaning crew at daycare who had to clean up the mess on Thursday. Guess it's a good thing your daughter wasn't allowed back at school on Friday afterall....
