Last night P was up again, a lot, crying. Then he finally thew up again this morning. He still has diarrhea like a river. But he started perking up this afternoon, after his 3rd dose of antibiotic. He is still sleepy and sick and crying from stomach cramps, but I think he is turning the corner. I am really hoping for a full night of sleep tonight. I am so, so so tired. No wonder I was edgy all the time when the kids were babies. I'm beginning to think another term for "postpartum anxiety and depression" is "breastfeeding mother to twins."
In developing news possibly related to P's stomach distress, our living room smells like spring rolls. It's REALLY strong. We haven't had spring rolls here, ever, so the odor is probably non-pork and cabbage related. What is it? Where is it? And do you know anyplace that makes really good spring rolls? Right now I'm just pretending the smell is spring roll related.

When it comes to children and pets, I can be extremely patient, and I
confess to being rather proud of this trait. A lot of people tire of my
daughter M’s ...

You always make me laugh. Have you tried a probiotic for P? They make them for kids and can help straighten out a revolting intestinal situation. We always use them when on antibiotics. At least the first few days before I forget. Helps a lot! Good luck.
ReplyDeleteProbiotics do help - get some! They have chewables for kids, or you can empty the powder from a capsule into some juice or yogurt.
ReplyDeleteSpring roll smell? Bad sign. Someone left some rotting food somewhere...I would check under the couch. Don't ask how I know.
