Sick Girl

On a usual morning, Joe wakes up at 5 am, leaves around 6:30. Saylor will come crawl into bed with me anywhere from 6:50 to 7:30, tap me on the shoulder gently, or just wiggle around until I'm forced to get up too (I'm addicted to our bed, especially in the winter). This morning was the same until it came time for my Saylor Wake-Up Call. She came in around 8, which is late for her, and laid next to me and started to quietly cry to herself. I roused from a deep sleep and asked what was wrong. She told me that her tummy hurt. I asked her if she needed to use the restroom, to which she responded 'yes'. So a couple minute go by and I decide to go check on her. She was laying on the bathroom mat in front of the shower. I said 'what are you doing, honey?' and she said that she was still tired (VERY unlike her). I said she could lay down in my bed while I made breakfast. Our favorite breakfast is to split a bagel, and (since I've started weight training, I made my egg whites as well.) When the bagels were done I asked her to come sit at her seat. When she entered the dining room and I got a look at her face I literally couldn't stop a 'whoa' from coming out of my mouth. She was as white as a ghost. Her lips were the same color as her face. It was actually a pretty jarring sight. On a side note, Saylor eats a lot in the morning, a normal amount for lunch, and we're lucky if we can get her to take 2 bites of dinner. Last night she didn't eat ANYTHING, so I thought she was feeling nauseous from hunger, because that happens to me. I told her that she should eat a bite of her bagel or take a sip of milk. When I handed her the bagel she literally threw it down and ran to the bathroom, where she vomited. My heart was broken for her. This happened a couple times. Finally I got her settled on the couch (where she is right now) watching Finding Nemo and got her to eat some raisins and walnuts, and drink her milk. All her color has come back, so hopefully we're moving forward now. She had such a sad look on her face, but as soon as I pointed the camera at her, her face lit up with that cheeeeese smile. Sweet baby girl.
