Sick

Despite all of the complications surrounding Kera's birth, we've been extremely blessed by having a very happy and healthy baby.  I knew that it would come sooner or later, and last week it did.  She's still been having issues sleeping at night, so I wasn't surprised when she slept in last Wednesday, but when she finally did wake up she was covered in vomit, and it scared me half to death.  Not necessarily the vomit, but the fact that her face was BRIGHT red.  I was sure that she had a fever of 104 or something, but she had none.  I cleaned her up, got her a bottle, and prayed that it was a one time thing.  Unfortunately, it was not.  So, for the past 5 days we've been battling some kind of stomach virus.  She's now past the vomiting stage, however she's still having pretty bad diarrhea.  She also passed it on to Troy on Friday, so I had two sick people to take care of.  I've somehow managed to avoid it so far, and hopefully it stays that way.
The crazy part is that she has been so happy.  She gets fussy for about 10 minutes before her stomach rejects her most recent meal, but then she's fine again.  We've had to fight to get her to drink her formula or Pedialite, but other than that she's been content.  Of course, I'm sure it helps that we're watching her every move and holding her almost constantly.
While she was sick, we were also fighting dehydration.  She continued to wake up at night, but rather than try to get her to go back to sleep, I would pick her up and feed her.  It seemed like the only time she would drink the Pedialite, so I wanted to make sure that she got it, even if it meant getting up in the middle of the night.
The sleep issues are now worse than ever.  Last night I think she was awake almost every hour.  Sometimes she cries, sometimes she just yells trying to get our attention.  But as soon as I walk in to her room, she just smiles and wants to get up and play.  Even if I pick her up and try to rock her to sleep, she'll fall asleep until I try to put her down, and then she immediately wakes up crying.  It's exhausting. And it seems like an endless cycle, too, because she's tired and wants to take long naps during the day.  She has no problem sleeping during the day, but we don't want her to sleep too much or she won't sleep at night.
I'm just hoping that when she starts feeling better, the sleep issues end... otherwise we may just decide to be nocturnal.
