...when you get puked on in the bank lobby and you don't even bat an eyelash.
Yup. It was quite the day. Apparently, Margaret had thrown up a bit on Brian this morning. Having not seen how much, and knowing that in the past she had randomly thrown up only twice before (well, *only* thrown up twice before, and the incidents were weeks apart), I sent her to school anyway. He said she had been coughing before she vomitted, so I figured it was just her gag reflex over-reacting. She seemed normal, after all, and no fever was present. I picked her up from daycare around 12:45 (again, she was acting normal) and we went to the bank where my sister works to visit per her request. Margaret was acting quite shy during the visit, and was very quiet. About a half hour after our arrival, she let out a tiny, quick cry so I took her from my sister. Within seconds of the transfer, she started heaving. All over the right sleeve of my jacket, her poncho, and the bank lobby's tile floor. Which of course, caused it to splash back up all over my shoes and pants. I must have been stunned, because I didn't react much at all. Fortunately, my sister cleaned up the mess (I think she was afraid that if she took Margaret from me, she'd get puked on). I don't even know where she was hiding all that came out of her, because it doesn't seem possible that she could have had that much in her. We went home pretty quickly after that.
So Margaret's on Pedialyte exclusively for the next 24-48 hours. She still doesn't have a fever, which is good, but she did grace our presence with some nasty diarrhea not too long ago. Lucky me! Her doctor will be calling in the morning to check on her progress. Hopefully, this is a quick moving bug...
