Just a virus


Boy, we thought we'd seen the worst an Aimee illness can bring, but this past week, Aimee has really been on form.
It started with a general bout of whinging and fussing during the day and refusal to eat or drink. Nothing we hadn't seen before. Then, quite without warning, Aimee prjectile vomited her entire stomach contents - a satisfying blend of cheesy curdled formula milk and flakey rice. The next 3 or 4 days were hell as she cried constantly and doubled up in pain. At one stage, when she started to act listless and eyes rolling, we took her to the hospital but they simply said she had a virus and she was not in serious danger. The GP, a few days later said the same. Both me and Cat took turns and used up our annual leave to care for Aimee. We also missed a handful of Xmas parties. But it was all worth it as of course, now, Aimee is now fully recovered and acts like before - only more hyper and more uncontrollable, with her incessant search and destroy behaviour. Welcome back to the land of the living, AimeeO.
