My Poor Baby

We went out to dinner to Sweet Tomatoes after nursing Brinda at 5.00 pm.
She was playing merrily in her stroller until about 7.30pm when she got restless with hunger/sleep.
So I finished up my dinner and nursed her there.
I pulled her up to burp after one side, and she threw up. It was more forceful that her usual spit-ups.
After about 15 minutes, I nursed her on the other side. After she pulled out to burp, she threw up again. This time a proper projectile.
We quickly finished up and came out.
She proceeded to projectile vomit 7-8 times within 30 minutes. The last couple of times it was just mucousy and came only when she coughed/gagged.

It was already 8.30pm, so we decided to take her to the Urgent Care center before they closed. Got in just as the doors were closing.

We were there for about an hour and a half. Brinda threw up another 3-4 times there, the same mucousy thingie since there was nothing else in her tummy. Poor baby. She was tired and laid her head on my shoulder.

They took an x-ray of her stomach just to be sure that nothing was obstructing the intestine. The x-ray was fine.

Then she pooped twice while we were there, both watery and green. So they suspect it might be a stomach bug causing the vomiting and diarrea(sp?).

The doctor was in a hurry to go home and was really rude to me "I think I am not making myself clear when I say .... ", she said. I was about to explode - I understand everythign you just said, lady. I have more questions and concerns and you ought to listen to them.

We need to keep an eye for dehydration. If she vomits and poops more, we might have to go to the ER. I'd hate to do that. So I'm hoping that her stomach settles down before she needs to be fed. They've asked me to wait 1-2 hours after her last vomit to breastfeed so I don't give her ammo to throw up.

So we are home now. And the poor baby feel asleep in the car. She's sleeping in her crib now - stinky clothes and all. I hope its atleast her usual 1am before she wakes up. At least in her sleep, her stomach would settle down. And of course, my next concern is for Sudha not to catch the Stomach bug from Brinda.

I hope Brinda is all better tomorrow. My poor love.
