June 9, 2008 Kennedy is sick

Kennedy has not been sleeping very well the past few days because of her nose being congested. It gets really bad at her 2:00 a.m. feeding, but I can't get anything out of it with her nasal aspirator. This morning she was not happy at all, and I tried my best to get some of the congestion out...with no luck

So while Larry worked, we decided to run out and go to K-Mart and Wal-Mart to get some medication for her, and grab some other things on our list. We get to K-Mart and Kaylee was trying on some summer clothes when Kennedy started to vomit profusely in her car seat. It had to have been at least 6 or 7 ounces worth of formula that came back up. I flipped out and yelled for Kaylee to come out of the dressing room so we could go to the bathroom to clean her up. I used her blanket to wipe most of it up, but it soaked both her blanket and her outfit. The car seat was covered...it was a huge mucus mess.

We bought her the medication they had, and gave it to her before we even left the store. She seemed to be feeling much better once she got all that out of her system, so we went to Wal-Mart and finished up our list of things before we went home for the day.

She was a little cranky for the rest of the evening, but that is totally understandable. Every little thing scares Larry because we still look at her as a fragile baby, but I kept reassuring him that she just has a head cold and she will be fine. Really, she was breathing fine out of her nose once she got all that out of her system at K-Mart. It will take a few days for this to pass, but I am glad we have the medicine to help ease her discomfort.
