OUR WEEKEND

On Friday, Cassie started getting sick again. She was vomiting and wasn't her self. On Saturday she threw up all day long and messed her pants about every 10 minutes. Her stool was so watered down that most of it would absorb into her diaper and it was hard to tell if she was urinating or not and her poor butt is really red. I tried jello water, she loved it, but couldn't keep it down longer than 4 minutes. She fell asleep at 7pm and stayed sleeping until 8am. Sunday she didn't throw up at all but she still wasn't feeling well. She took at nap at 9am until 11am and then took another nap from 2:30pm to 6pm. She was warm to the touch so I was giving her motrin and tylenol every 3 hours. I let her lounge around in a really light outfit so she would stay cool. Because her butt is so bad, I have been using vasiline instead of diaper rash cream because it works better at keeping wettness away. At least today she is playing with her toys, she has showed an interest in food but still isn't really eating but she is eating more than she has the last 2 days. She is loud, antaganizing the cat, and right now protesting against her nap from her crib. It's nice to have her back to her habits but she still has really loose stools so I am probaby going to have to give her the "brat diet" so that they firm a little. The diet is made up of foods that normally constipate a baby like bananas, toast, applesauce, and rice cereal.
