Poor Baby...

So last night, actually early this morning, when I finished my paper (about 4 AM). I went in to check on Casey because she had been coughing and crying a little. Well the coughing was actually throwing up!

I got her out of bed and we headed downstairs to watch her shows and get her cleaned up. She proceeded to throw up several more time through the night, I feel so bad for her! She finally fell asleep around 6:30 and I moved her to our bed hoping to get some sleep.

We slept till almost 9:00 when she threw up again, and then again an hour or so later. It was almost 1 PM before I could get her to drink anything! She had some toast and was able to hold that and her Gatorade down.

I just put her down for a nap and now I have to run to school to fix the mistakes my lab "partner" made while doing some work on our unknown bacteria this morning!!!

Sleep count so far for me is 5 hours plus cat naps on the couch when I can since Tuesday morning (the last time I slept well was Monday night and that was still a late night because I was working on a study guide for my Micro test I have to take by Saturday!) Thank goodness for coffee!

Oh Becky that sucks! There is nothing worse than sick kids and incompetent lab partners. If you want I will pray for your lab partner to get pregnant or Chlamydia...just let me know. LOL
