The new year has officially been rung in! The family throne is christened like never before. No, seriously, I've never cleaned up this much vomit in a two hour timespan. First Sasha threw up everything (we thought), then Emily threw up EVERYTHING, then Sasha finished throwing up what I can only assume was yesterday's breakfast.
I've had to adjust the vomit pay scale. It's no longer just a dollar for making all the puke land in the pot. You know, inflation, the kids are older, etc.. So, Sasha gets two dollars for getting it all in the toilet, and backsplash doesn't count of course. Emily gets paid for just not puking in the room at all. Now, I have a cousin who thinks I'm just being gross, but my mom and sister can attest to the fact that our hallway is so small, and the forces so violent that puke goes up the walls and into the nooks and crannies. But I will take that any day over every single piece of bedding, for we have a laminate wood floor.
*sigh* The timing was interesting, I was just reading up on what admitting and discharge is going to be like for Sasha in a couple weeks at UCSF. She's going to do DHE infusions like I did a couple years ago, in hopes that the nightmare of having her in the hospital for 5 days and braving corntamination and misery will be lesser than the current migrainous nightmare of our existence. Sasha had gotten out of bed to puke already so were doing our typical recon from that. Then came puke typhoon Em, flying down the hallway...
Now, Emily has had two full-body heaving pukes in the past four days. She hasn't had abdominal pain in months, I'm not even sure how many at this point, it would take a bit of digging. Kids who present with abdominal migraine typically grow out of those, but grow into classical migraine. I don't know if that's what's going on with her, because she isn't experiencing head or abdominal pain, but something is going on. I was hoping for time before classic migraine hit, if at all...more neurology...more neurology.
It should of course be noted that my brother and sister have both been here for a week from different states, packing up the things we don't need immediately as we search for bigger digs in town. This hasn't required a lot of extra work on the kids' part, but things have been moving and shaking all around them. Also we just had our first big storm of the season which could certainly be a factor. Still...hell of a night.
Admittedly, we had fun watching a Netflix show the girls have gotten us sucked into, H2O Just Add Water, about these teenager girls who turn into mermaids when they get wet at all. I do prefer the kids are in bed before 11:30, but if they sleep the rest of the night, I'll be stoked. If I sleep the rest of the night I'll be stoked. It's been a hell of a year for me, with with way more migraine med days than not. Jesus.
Well, the puke laundry is fermenting, lest we anger the washing machine gods with an uneven load while everyone's asleep. Thankfully it's a small load, and shouldn't smell too badly by morning. I've got a lot of freeze drying and planning to do for UCSF week, and I may need to harass the neurologist about my other daughter. School will happen or it won't, but the girls tend to get educated, I'm still not sure how. 2018 is plastered to us, hard. Hm. May God have mercy.
