Tummy ache

Last night Grace developed a tummy ache, it was the one with 'the waves'. Oh no I thought, we are in for a restless night.

She has complained a few times on and off lately so I decided to give her some tummy massages and extra lactulose. Eventually she was so tired that she drifted off to a somewhat restless sleep. Mark commented that her tummy had probably settled and that she would probably sleep for the night. No sooner said than she coughed and I had the amazing speed of a gazelle and bolted across the room with potty in hand (always there for emergencies when Grace is unwell) in time to catch what was following the cough, except for a little bit that splattered on her nighty, which we changed and cleaned her up a bit and she didn't even wake up.

This morning when we told her, she had no idea(very strange) and also she was pretty much very restless for the whole night, and didn't really relax until around 3am. I actually watched Big Brother until they had all gone to bed, there was nothing else on but horror films.

This morning she was still feeling a little nauseus and still hadn't been to the loo, so we have given her 50ml of gastrografin and we are on emergency alert, she has been once but nothing major, so we are prepared......

Meanwhile Mark has been shopping for a present big enough to compensate for 50ml of gastrografin....
