Brianna's 1st sleep-over party! (It could have been worse...)

Brianna walked into Hannah's house last Friday and was excited as can be. She had her princess ready-bed sleeping bag, her princess back pack filled with clothes, pjs, tooth brush, bed time song cd, sally and little blankie, her pillow and of course Hannah's b-day present. Veronica barely got a good-bye from her.

We had been in bed for about 15 minutes when the phone call came at 12:50+am.....

Brianna had thrown-up and needed to come home.

Veronica threw on pants and raced out the door and a drive that normally takes 15 minutes, took her 7... She walked in to see a bunch of girls sleeping in the living room soundly and Brianna cuddled up on Amelia's (Hannah's Mom) lap on the steps.. They had heard Brianna coughing and got her a drink. Then they heard those tell tale noises and rushed her to the bathroom. She had gotten some on her pjs and she was wearing her clothes.. Veronica thanked them profusely for taking care of Brianna and then loaded her into the van and headed home. She was fine, fell asleep. Got her inside and gave her some cough medicine and Benadryl then off to bed she went...

Our poor child has a very sensitive gag reflex.. If she coughs hard enough she will throw-up.. And we're sure with her stomache filled with pizza, cake and popcorn, it wasn't that hard...

She proclaimed the next day that the party had been awesome and she had so much fun. She would have made it through the night had she not had a coughing fit (poor girl)..

She can't wait until the next sleep over and has asked if she can have one for her birthday party..

Not sure if we're up for that one yet LOL...

And the sickness saga continues....

Brianna woke up yesterday morning around 4:30. She complained that her throat hurt so Veronica gave her some cloraseptic spray and sent her off to bed, she then told her that she had thrown up and hadn't made it to the toilet. By the time Veronica was done cleaning up puke it was 5:30 and she was exhausted...

Katie came into our room around 7:00 and immediately crawled in bed and went back to bed. That is not like her at all. She is usually wanting a sip of Veronica's drink, wanting to eat breakfast, wanting to go downstairs. When we did come downstairs she told Veronica that her ear hurt. Veronica asked her if it hurt really badly (it's a term she uses) and she shook her head yes. She wanted to watch Deep Blue Sea, and we've been telling her no for weeks now, but since she was so miserable, Veronica let her watch some of it. She immediately fell asleep.. Veronica knew something was up. She slept all morning and then we went to Abuela and Popi's house. She slept off and on for the rest of the day. She woke up for to take some motrin chewables, she chewed and then her eyes rolled back into her head and she slept more.. Veronica had set up an appt. with Dr. Rothermel and took Katie in at 3:15, where we were told that Katie's left ear was really badly infected. She gave Katie a script for amoxicillin.

Poor Katie, no wonder she was so miserable..

Brianna was fine for the rest of the day thankfully...
