Last night (or rather early this morning) our almost 2 1/2 year old woke up crying. Kevin ran upstairs to find her in her bed covered with throw-up. Ugh! Our poor baby. This is her first bout with the flu. Mommy took over cleaning up and soothing Selah while daddy set about getting the bed cleaned up.
About 30 minutes later mommy and Selah crawled into the guest bed. Thank goodness we have extra sheets and towels because we had the same scenario happen three times. Finally around 3 a.m. sleep found us comfortable and feeling better.
Unfortunately this morning Selah is still feeling sick. No more throwing up but a fever has taken over her body (which is good) and she is simply lethargic. For the first time ever in her life she has just lain on the couch watching PBS. Finally she fell asleep for some more rest.
Here is a picture of her after her rest. You can see how her cheeks are red.
Throughout the morning we've had to keep Sofia upstairs playing because she has simply wanted to sit and stare at her little sister. We didn't want her to wake her up though.
Finally when Selah woke up Sofia was able to read books to Selah. Selah loved this.
Lord, we pray for complete healing in Selah's body. Thank you for allowing us as a family to love on her.

I love sweet little girls. We will pray for Selah, too, and that the rest of the family will be spared.
I despise the stomach flu :(
Poor Selah! Isaac had the same thing during my first trimester with Parker... Because of my morning sickness and sensitivity to smell, I ended up joining in on the throwing up!
Yucky! I really dislike the stomach flu! Selah is so blessed to have a family who loves her so!
