Maddie-isms Again

--The doctor said I am going to check your ears...am I going to find any missing toys? Did you lose any toys recently...Maddie answered I lost Helen’s baby in my bed when I was sleeping

--“wakey wakey mommy...wakey wakey...you are a cutie....”

--she woke up after about an hour of sleep yelling “welcome home daddy”...we think she got confused. Mark went in and gave her a kiss and put her back to bed

--Yelling from her bed at naptime “mommy it’s sunny right now” (i.e. means it is not time to sleep)

--Maddie was eating green beans and pulled out a little pea from it and said “mommy what is this” ...without thinking I responded “it is a seed” . . . then tried to undo it, figuring she wouldn’t eat and said “no I mean a bean” ...Maddie said “No it is a seed...I will save it and plant it in my garden”

--the nurse said “you are really cute” Maddie said “I know, I am a princess”

--While I am in the bathroom I hear Maddie say "You need polka dots" (as Maddie covered her brother in price stickers)

--"Look Mommy I have a wedgie" (as she squats to show me her sagging diaper is lopsided)

--“Nurse can I have a chocolate doughnut for being a good patient?”


--Maddie-“Mommy you ok?"
Me- "Yes. Are you?"
Maddie-"no, I cry and cry"
Me-"oh, why?"
Maddie-"because I missed you"
Me-"awe I missed you too, come give me a hug"
Maddie-"I can't, I am a little bit poopy right now"

Stupid germs

The past week has not been the most fun for us. Maddie and Blake got RSV and bronchitis. Our days have been filled with snot, coughing fits and breathing treatments. Just as the kids are starting to recover I start to get sick and our lack of sleep increases.

Then last night I was reading maddie a book and I noticed she kept putting her hand to her mouth, then suddenly ...blech...she threw up and threw up and threw up. We thought it was just from phlegm or something she ate, bit it continued through the night, with her daddy sacrificing sleep and taking care of her.

By morning it was obvious it wasn't just something she ate, as her diapers were bone dry for almost 12 hours. So at 6am we got up, moving and out the door. Maddie begging for a drink even as she threw up again. Her mood was sad bit thankfully Blake was joyful and content making it easier to deal with his sister.

At cabell hospital they got maddie straight into a room and checked her out, despite the vomiting and congestion in her lungs she checked out well. They gave her some Zofran and a popsicle in hope to get something in her belly.

It is now 10am and she has had 2 Popsicles, two juices and has held everything down. Her mood has improved and we hope to get home. I hope whatever it is passes quickly without effecting all of us...we have had enough to last us for awhile.

We need a vacation.
