Motherhood 101

Today has been a heck of a day. I think I have been getting a great lesson in being a MOM! Stella has been really suffering with bad allergies for a few weeks and we went to see our vet on Monday. He gave Stella a new medication that will hopefully began to help her allergies. It is a pill that she has to take daily and he told me that the first few days to a week she could have some vomiting and diarrhea. WELL....I spent the better part of 3 hours this morning laying in the closet floor as Stella threw up and had diarrhea ALL over my closet floor! I got some towels and put them down and was seriously wiping her face and her butt for hours! She was pitiful! It was the saddest thing I have ever seen. I called the vet because I felt like the vomiting was a little more severe than they had suggested might occur. I was in a panic and of course, Reed was in a meeting. The vet said that she would be okay and gave her some medicine for her tummy. I haven't left the house all day because I just couldn't leave her here alone! She has finally been resting this afternoon and hopefully we won't have the same reaction tomorrow! We'll see!
