"She puked all over her bed, damn you, JINX!"

For real. She did. Just like I said earlier. When will I learn to respect the jinx? I think at some point it stops being superstition and starts being factual.

Looks like a looooong night ahead. Vomiting wires her. She threw up around 11:30, so we might be in bed by 2 or so.

Here's a bit of a bright spot, though. Josh came home late tonight, after I had given KayTar her inhaler, which she was none to pleased with. When he got home, she said, "I take the medicine ona my mouth. Feel better, Daddy!" which is totally spontaneous AND relating an experience. Rock on, KayTar.

Since it is technically Saturday, here's a song:




The storm is coming but I don't mind.
People are dying, I close my blinds.

All that I know is I'm breathing now.

I want to change the world...instead I sleep.
I want to believe in more than you and me.

But all that I know is I'm breathing.
All I can do is keep breathing.
All we can do is keep breathing now.

All that I know is I'm breathing.
All I can do is keep breathing.
All we can do is keep breathing now.

All we can do is keep breathing
All we can do is keep breathing
All we can do is keep breathing
All we can do is keep breathing.
All we can do is keep breathing now.

-Keep Breathing, Ingrid Michaelson

***ETA: I need some advice. Is there anyone out there reading that has a special kiddo they've had to wean from the bottle? As soon as we are past this illness, we are going to have to. She is biting her bottle nipples now and I'm having mini panic attacks about the thought of the tips of one popping off and going down her windpipe. (Don't worry, we DO throw them away once she's mangled them, and we replace it with a new one) AGH! Soooo, we're going to have to give this weaning thing a try. My problem is her stubbornness. The pediatrician and I have discussed this a few times and decided to let her continue to use the bottle, because it keeps her hydrated and a vast percentage of her calories come through it. If we take it away and she strikes? Well, it could be bad news. But it can't be safe for her to keep masticating her nipples either. Any advice? Any old pros done this? For BubTar it was a breeze, but KayTar has this will of steel and I'm worried a bit. I don't the same old tricks are going to work. The good news is finally, she can drink from a sippy and a straw, although she has a hard time with a lot of sippy cups and the amount of strength it takes to get fluids from it. She still has low tone in her mouth. But she CAN do it now, it just isn't her preferred method. Has anyone ever ended up in the hospital for dehydration due to weaning? LOL. Because, well, I wouldn't put it past our girl. Sigh. HELP PLEASE!
