Pukie McPukester

Melanie got sick three times yesterday!! We're chalking it up to her not being a big fan of the fortified-formula mix we've been trying - adding more formula to the water to increase calories. She was perfectly happy and Melanie-ish all day, but just kept rejecting stuff. First, she ate breakfast and then since she was trying to steal other kids' bottles, they gave her one. She took it all, and then threw it all back up. Luckily Daddy had taken another change of clothes (since the day before she had to change because of food getting all over her!) Then, later in the afternoon, she got sick again.....and then, when Daddy tried to feed her KFC mashed potatoes, she let him know what she thought of THOSE! Change of clothes again. She hasn't been taking her bedtime bottle, which is odd; but she's been sleeping just fine. We are trying to get into a new pediatric GI specialist - this one was in Indianapolis Monthly as the best pediatric GI in Indy! Mel's records are being sent over there, and we'll hopefully have an appointment confirmed soon.

Odd that Mel, who is really never sick, has so far in December had a fever, her first ear infection, a day o' puking, and on Monday has a flu shot (since she wasn't able to get it at her scheduled appointment because of her fever) She's trying to make Mommy SURE that working downtown is the best idea. With six weeks of vacation, I won't have a problem going forward, but I can't really use any of it this month!!
