ER Visit: Vomit Everywhere, Part 2
Nora in the waiting room of the ER
Read part 1 here.
How is it I have ended up in the ER two times in one week? This is a personal record for me and Nora. While I felt silly taking Nora to the ER when it was just her fingers and nothing was really wrong, I have decided I’d rather be at the ER for that reason than a legitimate reason like our second ER visit.
The day started out great. I woke up at 5:30am and continued to get my things ready for my 13.5mile run that morning. Nora had woken up several times in the middle of the night with a slight fever (100.3) but I was confident she’d be able to last through my run if I gave her plenty of fluids and snacks. Nora woke up herself at 6:00am and I started to get her ready.
I was already in my running clothes and carried her to her room to get changed. As I was walking Nora started vomiting profusely. She couldn’t stop and I couldn’t let go. Vomit hit my face and poured down my chest and back. It was going EVERYWHERE and I just continued to clutch Nora and run towards to bathroom so that it at least could drip onto an easy to clean up surface. I was not in the mood to tackle vomit on the carpet.
What is it about us mothers that make us able to bear the most unbearable situations? Is it our unconditional love? I just know that I would have never dreamed of putting down my vomiting, crying child. If I was babysitting with a similar situation they would have gone into a bathtub and I would have pat their back or something.
Find out what was wrong in Part 3, coming in a few days.
In the meantime, what is it about mothers that make us able to bear the most unbearable?
Awww… poor Nora I hope she’s ok!
Thanks for your concern, Mamta! She is doing MUCH bettter! Yay!
