After our adventures today Bailey was a bit tired. We had plans to go to Nordstroms to look at shoes but she opted for lounging on the couch in front of the Disney Channel instead. I knew she must be tired if she gave up the opportunity to replace the running shoes that she hates so much.
After about 10 minutes of lying down she told me that she felt like she was going to vomit and that her head hurt. She looked a bit green around the gills at this point so I began to think that it was more then just fatigue. I tried to calm my worries by reminding myself that I have been tired to the point of exhaustion before and it made me nauseous. It didn't work. The more I tried to not worry the more I worried so I called one of her nurses from Sister Kenny. She said that as long as the headache didn't get worse and she didn't start vomiting that I didn't need to worry. If the headache got worse or she threw up I was to take her to the E.R. right away.
It turned out to be a false alarm and was just fatigue. After lounging for several more hours she felt much better but I am quite certain that if she ever hears me say "you OK?" again her head might explode. I felt like she was an infant again and I was a new mom. I just sat there and watched her. I was so scared and nervous.
After she started feeling better I couldn't shake the feeling that this was just the beginning. She will never have a sniffle again without me freaking out. God forbid she ever has a fever...
