Icky sickness

At about 4:30 this afternoon, Kaleigh got really sick. A couple weeks ago she had a stomach bug and she was throwing up all day. This time, it's all coming out the other end. I'm not sure which is worse.

To make things more difficult, I wasn't able to get out and get her some medicine because the headlights on the car don't work right now. I called Sandy (Brian's mom) and asked her if she could ask Brian to slip out and get her some medicine and bananas. I told her exactly what was wrong with Kaleigh and specifically asked for anti-diarrhea medicine. She said it was no problem. I waited a hour and a half and Brian finally showed up with bananas and laxatives for kids. LAXATIVES. Since when do you fight diarrhea with laxatives?

I had to laugh because it just shows how removed he is from Kaleigh's life.

Kaleigh's feeling a little better. I've kept her hydrated and I've been giving her bananas and toast. She finally fell asleep at about 10pm on the couch next to me.

I'm headed to bed but I'll write more tomorrow
