I’ve had to go back to work a few days this week to monitor a new class we developed. And of course, this is the week that Maria chose to be sick! Yesterday they called me from school to say Maria had vomited a couple times, so I left work to go get her. They said in the 15-20 minutes it took me to get there, she vomited a few more times. I think she vomited a time or two last night, heck I can’t even remember, it seems so long ago. I feel like I’m getting a head cold and I have a wicked sinus headache, so we’re wondering if Maria’s getting a cold also and is trying to pre-emptively get rid of the mucous. (gross, I know)
Today, of course Maria stayed home from school with Nanny Sue. She (Maria) vomited so many times that Sue was traumatized by the time I got home. She said she did laundry all day, bathed Maria twice, everytime she turned her head, Maria stuck her fingers down her throat and puked. Nice, huh? I used to be able to hear her across Maricopa County if she was sticking her fingers down her throat to vomit, but she’s getting much quieter about it — in fact the only time she did it this evening was when she was laying in my lap!!! I didn’t even catch her until it was just a little too late. Sure hope tomorrow fares better. For all our sakes!
