Poor Aimee. Last night she got sick and vomitted non-stop all night. When there was nothing left to bring up, her little stomach was still spasming away and she was obviously in great distress.
We racked our brains thinking what could make her so ill. Was it our organic home-cooked baby food? Was it all the toys she stuffs into her mouth? Had she ingested something dirty from the carpet? Maybe all of these things, maybe none.
It was a tough night with calls to NHS Direct, then to the night doctor. But in the end, finally after 7 hours, the retching stopped and Aimee slept but we both kept guard all night in anycase.
Cat called the nursery to inform them of Aimee's illness and they said that she was the third baby to call in sick with identical symptoms. So, we found the most likely source of her illness - the nursery. Turns out there is some virus going around causing the kids to be violently sick, but are fine the next day.
Aimee is recouperating now, but still pushes out a little smile every now and again. That's what makes her so magic.
