Zoë throws up in the elevator
This morning I took Abby and Zoë down to the park to run off some energy. It was maybe half an hour after breakfast, which the girls devoured. They each had an egg sandwich, some yogurt, and half a banana as well as some juice. When we first got down there, I played 'mother may I' with them as requested and then they just wanted to run around a bit. After that they wanted to do some different kinds of running and races and things and to pretend that they were racing in the olympics. They always asked which of them won the gold medal. They ran track, hurdles, long jump, did swimming and other odd things. Every now and then Zoë would come over to me and say she needed to take a breather, so she'd sit with me for a moment before continuing. After maybe half an hour, maybe, Zoë plopped her head down next to me and asked me to give her some shade, as the sun had come out from a cloud and was beginning to be strong. She was whining and said she was ready to go back to the apartment so I gave Abby one more chance to do a run and then we walked back.
At the building, Zoë was really slow to walk up the steps to the entrance and once in the hallway she said she didn't feel well. I took a look at her and asked if she was going to be sick and she said that she was just tired so I told her we'd get her some water and she could lie down. Once in the elevator she just leaned against me and held my hand, then proceeded to throw up. Her face grew instantly white, including her lips, which had absolutely no color. Chris keeps telling me, "Well that's what happens when you throw up" but this was fairly extreme and she was lethargic all of the sudden. It really made me nervous so I scooped her up in my arms and as soon as the elevator opened I instructed Abby to get to the door for Daddy to open up. He helped me to get Zoë in a cool shower, where she sat on the floor for a bit and I got her some water to sip. I was trying to figure out how to call down to the front desk to tell them that my daughter had been sick in the elevator, then just went to clean it myself but someone had already wiped up the mess. Chris got a towel for Zoë and her and I lay in the bed together. Abby came in and asked Zoë if she'd like a foot rub or a hand rub and said that she was giving Zoë 'the treatment'.
Pretty soon Zoë perked up and slowly got some food back in her and we hydrated her and took it easy the rest of the day, much to the dismay of both girls. They wanted to go to the pool later on, they wanted to walk to ice cream, this that and the other. Zoë is completely back to normal now, I think she just had some heat exhaustion coupled with a full tummy.
Abby @ 4 years, 8 months, 7 days
Zoë @ 4 years, 8 months, 7 days
Enzo expected in 1 month, 2 days
