First Major Sickness of This Kind

Well, we had one day of uneventfulness yesterday, but poor LG suffered again today.

She has been enjoying her VBS time each day we have been here, and although we are exhausted from meetings and odd hours to eat, yesterday was not too bad.  Unfortunately, yesterday some of the kids started throwing up.  This afternoon, it hit LG.

LG was taking her nap this afternoon.  Aunt D and I were in the hallway knitting (yes, I am trying to learn how to knit), and we suddenly heard LG calling hysterically for me.  We ran into the room, and she was standing up in her crib with her arms outstretched to me.  I picked up her, Aunt D grabbed her worm and kitty (her sleep animals), and we all 3 settled down on the bed to rest. 

It wasn't long until we found out why LG had called me.  She suddenly threw up red vomit all over me, herself, the bed, her sleep animals, everything!  Of course, we were all three freaked out, but I determined the vomit was red because of jello and plums she had at lunch and not from blood.  Aunt D drew a bath for LG, and I stripped LG down, threw away her clothes, and sat her in the bathtub.  Aunt D did a good job of bathing LG and calming her down.  I then tackled removing all the bedding and putting it on our balcony (oh! the stench!).  I grabbed LG's sleep animals and soaked them in the sink.  I hope they can be saved, but I have my doubts.  The red is just not coming out.  Then, I changed my clothes.

We got LG out of the tub, and put her in comfy clothes.  Aunt D and I decided we would just miss the last sessions tonight and hang out with LG.  The boys had gone into town to snoop around, so Aunt D texted them to buy LG a new sleep toy and to forget about going to the last few sessions, as well.  Daddy and Tio Paco purchase a big, soft, snugly penguin, which LG loves, and went right to sleep with.

It has been a long conference that seemed like it would never end with all the mishaps to LG.  I think we need another holiday.  Tomorrow everyone leaves, but we will stay on one more day because our flight was cheaper if we left a day later.  We will see how LG feels in the morning.
