Tonight, Lily is sleeping soundly in her bed. I’ll check on her in a few minutes, and kiss her on the forehead. Unlike last night, she does not have a bowl next to her….
Last night was a different story. She was up at least three times, sick with the stomach flu. And so I was up at least three times as well. It’s times like these that I both dread being a mother and realize how much I love being a mother. When I was sick as a little girl, there was nothing I wanted more that my mom. I can still remember her soft, cool hand on my forehead when I was feverish. When my little girl is sick, I want to be able to make her well; to get her back to her usual self. What I can do is smooth her head with my hand; my hand may not be as soft or as cool as my mom’s was, but I hope I bring her a small amount of comfort.
Between recovering from Easter and Lily’s sickness, Lemon Drop Pie is on hold…please stay tuned…I wish I had some muzak to play for you while you wait!
(And I’m sure you’re relieved that I couldn’t get my hands on any Muzak!)
Awww, poor Lily. Glad she is at least feeling better than last night. Hope you are both able to get a decent night's rest tonight.

Yes, we did sleep much better last night, but she still hasn't tried solid food yet…and is still feeling queasy. But she looks better today. (crossing my fingers.)

We've been fighting the bugs here, too! I hope your daughter is well soon! It is the pits when kiddos are sick, isn't it? Sometimes I'd just love to take it from them because I hate to see them miserable, ya know? *hugs to you*

Oh, poor little one. If it is what we had last week, it only lasts 2 days. A rough 2 days, but at least it does not go on for a week. I can bring you the notes from Wednesday meeting, if you want.
That is good to know! I hope my other little one doesn't catch it! I have to bring breakfast tomorrow, so we'll see how it goes.

Hope she's better fast! The only good thing about the virus is that it doesn't last a week or two like colds and flus! My husband even prefers it to colds. Me? Not so much. It's probably my one lacking area of parenting. Vomiting. You're strong!

Ugh, I'll take a cold any day! Hopefully she's almost over it. 🙁

I am very lucky that I\’ve been able to stay home with her! I did have to miss work today, but that\’s okay.
Oh, poor Lily! We hope she feels better VERY soon and you both get some rest. We'll be thinking about you guys! –The Dose Girls

Slowly but surely she's recovering, but she still has been afraid to eat much solid food…Jello for dinner tonight!

I hope she is feeling better. I've heard the tummy virus going around right now is a hard one! And I hope the rest of you stay well.
Of course, I'll stay on the line waiting for the next Lemon Drop Pie installment. 🙂
