So I have been "off" milk off and on since Amiah was born. She was SUPER gassy and pukey so I stopped dairy all together. I have gradually added back cheeses etc and all it seemed to do was increase the gas by a little bit but not enough she was super uncomfortable or bloated (she sure can fart though!) Anyway, I decided it really must not be the milk so I started actually drinking milk again. Yeah...M-I-S-T-A-K-E! She started PROJECTILE vomitting again. I thought the prevacid the doctor put her on was controlling the vomiting but um NOPE it was my not drinking milk. So I was sitting in Sunday school at church today and I had my giant brown leather handbag on the seat next to me. She started to gag (really loud) and then WHOOSH this ocean of barf starts shooting out in WAVES across me. Yup, nearly ALL of it landed IN MY HANDBAG!! Not to mention she was covered, I was covered and the seat of the chair my bag was on was covered. The sister behind me gasped, I was laughing and embarressed and had NO clue what to do. The lady behind me jumped up and pulled the wipes out of my bag and just started wiping me and the outside of my bag and the chair off. So sweet of her. She whispered that she had 5 kids and has totally been-there-done-that with the puking so she was more than willing to help me out. We were so covered, I made Mickey take me and the kids home. Well, now I have a puke filled leather hand bag. Not a clue how to clean the inside sinced the fabric liner inside has absorbed all the barf. Any ideas?? About an hour after we were home she exploded out of her diaper and had to be changed yet again. This was her hanging out on the couch waiting for me to pick out something new
Aw, poor girl. Projectile vomit is the worst, isn't it? And at church in class of all places. I would have probably laughed too because, really, what else can you do? :) That was super sweet of that sister to offer assistance.
ReplyDeleteI had to go off dairy, soy, and nuts for about a month with our second. You really dont realize how many things have those items in it until you are no longer allowed to have them. Hopefully just eliminating the drinking milk will right things out with her. Poor girl. That can't be fun.
Oh my goodness...the cute-ness of her little body almost makes up for it!! When Ekena was little, the same thing happened to me, and that's how we found out she was lactose-intolerant. When she turned one, we thought that we would try so regular milk to "check"...and NOPE. Puke everywhere. It was sick. She's three now and we still buy her lactose-free milk and she's only allowed VERY SMALL amounts of any dairy product.
ReplyDeleteThat cracks me up, becuase I can totally relate! I have not had near the amount of puke on me that you have, but enough to understand! ;) Can she hold her head up yet? She looks so adorable sitting on the couch!
ReplyDeleteYour just gonna have to toss the bag, its always gonna smell like puke. NASTY!!!! HE HE!!!
