Sick baby cont.

This one will be short & sweet! Lauren is feeling a smidge better today, but with high fever again last night is not in school... POOR LIL' LADY!!

my sick kiddo.

Took Lauren home from school today with a fever of 101.5. She never told anyone that she didn't feel well,I only knew cause she cried when I almost didn't make it to have lunch with her. I thought she felt really warm when I comforted her, but I chalked it up to the fact that they have to eat lunch with snowpants & boots on cause they go outside right afterwards. Then she would not eat her lunch, she said that her throat hurt... (must be bad if PB & J is rough on your throat...) So I brought her up to the nurses office & sure enough... 101.5. Poor little lady, she was so excited to get a new book in her KIWI pack that she ignored how she was feeling...

Get better quick Lauren!!! I LOVE YOU!!!

Piggy-gate has a new victim...

Piggy Flu

Nuff said...

"the sickness" has invaded our house

Not a good day here, Lauren has been sick with a fever for 2 days, and not feeling well at all. Let's see what tomorrow brings...

The flu strikes again!!

The flu struck me this morning. I wish I would have known this. Now you will!!

Tummy Tea Time

How about something that has all-natural ingredients and that will rehydrate you and rebalance your electrolytes even better than Gatorade?

INGREDIENTS:
~ about a cup of HOT WATER (not boiling! if it boiled, let it cool slightly)
~ about a half LEMON, squeezed in (more or less depending on your taste)
~ a liberal amount of SEA SALT (to taste, but do add a lot!)
~ a spoonful of RAW HONEY

Mix these up and sip slowly. The warmth itself is soothing, but the ingredients will work to actively settle your poor tender tummy.

If you can catch it at the right time between "bouts," a very small amount of this Tummy Tea can actually help stop you throwing up again. Wait until 10 or 15 minutes after throwing up, and have a small sip. After a few minutes, try another sip. Don't gulp big amounts of it! Continue to take tiny amounts at intervals and it will help stop the "something in-something out" cycle.

The warmth itself is soothing, but the ingredients work to restore the upset balance in your tummy, helping it stop the spastic cycle of overreacting to everything that comes in.
