Well, at least now we know that Aubrey and the flu shot don't get along.  My grandmother was in the hospital all week with the flu, so I called the pediatrician's office to get a flu shot set up for Aubrey (I don't usually get a flu shot, but I'm guessing I will this year--I can't stand the thought of her getting sick).  So we went Wednesday morning, and Aubrey was a trooper like always and got her shot.  Then we went to PT/OT, then we came home and she ate and took her afternoon nap.

 When she ate again around 5:30, she threw up.  She still acted hungry, so I waited a little while and then gave her some mashed bananas.  She waited about 45 minutes and threw that up.  I felt her head and it was hot; took her temp and it was 101 degrees.  Yikes!  She was lethargic and sleepy--she just laid in Adam's lap (and then my lap when Adam had to pass her off because he got too hot holding her).  No wiggling and trying to flip over and get down.  That was the scary part!  We tried giving her some Tylenol, but she gagged on it.  I finally got some down her around 8:30, and by about 9:15 she was super hungry.  She drank her entire bottle and then fell asleep and slept all night.  By morning, she was cool as a cucumber and hungry again.  She had no more fever and ate like a champ all day yesterday.  Whew.

The only bad thing is, she has to have a booster in a month.  At least we know how she'll react!

that's her "I feel better" silly face

The therapists continue to think she's doing well.  We'll go back every 2 weeks for a while.

 Aubrey is getting stronger and braver about standing up.  She still has blisters on the insides of her feet from her super-fast sniper crawl that she does all around the house. 

This is what happens when she throws up all over her clothes and her mama hasn't replenished the clothes supply in the diaper bag.  You wear what you have.
