Water Beads & Ramen Soup!?


Also today, besides the three vomits... We played in water beads and ate some ramen soup.  I really think that the water beads helped prepare her for the soup! 

At first Whitney was extremely nervous about what was in her sink.  She wouldn't even put her feet in it!  It was kinda funny how she had her feet at the very tip of inside the sink.  Eventually I got her feet in it,  just pretending to bounce on the beads.  Then I moved up to putting them on her legs.  And the her arms and hands.  Whitney then decided it was safe to grab them!  I put her whole body in the sink so she could reach them better but she was very nervous again.  Then we started scooping them up and pouring them out!  It was fun! 

















After the water bead play, I made some Ramen Soup, even though I was a little late getting her meal started.  I thought that maybe after all that sensory play, she'd be more comfortable playing in the soup.  It worked!  First time in a while she actually took the spoon on her own and feed her self some bites!  She was very focused and quiet.  Maybe she was also a little hungry since she threw up her last two meals!?  I was so proud of her!  And she didn't even ask for bubbles (her reward)! Any ways, most of it ended up on her chair and according to her throw up two hours later, she only swallowed about 10 pieces.  So enjoy the videos of her eating because I'm sure it won't happen anytime soon again!  




















Three times today!

The first time was about an hour after her 4oz of fruity breakfast.  She was on her Great Grandmas bed jumping around.  I leave for a minute then hear her coughing.  Come back in and she sitting a pile of barf.  So I wash her and the sheets. 

The second time is pictured below.   I had to feed her during her nap which woke her up.  She stayed in her crib for a while, I was hoping she'd fall back a sleep so I could shower but no!  I got her out.  Then I decided to make a random "lunchables Pizza" I had. I just made in on the floor and she was sitting by me and before I could take a bite...BAM.  Vomit everywere! 



 
She couldn't/didn't want to even move afterwards!  Just sat there saying Uh-Oh!


 


And the Third time today was about 2 hours after her meal. I left her naked for most of the time until she wanted to go outside.  It was cool and windy.  In Whitney's rush she even fell down and cried till I put her in the sink to play with water.  I asked her if she still wanted to play outside and she gladly got outa the sink to go get dressed.  (It's surprising that that did not make her vomit BTW).  So we spend a while playing outside together.  We come in to get some water.  Whitney climbs up the stairs because the gate broke.  While drinking from her straw cup she basically aspirated, choked, coughed, burped, and threw up.  On the stairs, then the tile.  All over her outfit. 








Any ways, all three had different "triggers" and I'm surprised it happened from those triggers.  Yesterday she didn't vomit at all!  Sometimes I just don't get this girl!  :)  She is on a new med call Eryped (Erythromicin)  to see if that will help her dysmotility.  They eventually want me to feed her more but I want her to stop throwing up first!
