Rough Week
Saturday, 16 January 2010
These have been some busy times for us, but not in a good way. Although, as I'm thinking about it now, I have some good news, too - Kika's teeth are coming. The two in the middle bottom. One of them is already out - that's the one that was on the way during Christmas and it finally appeared on Tuesday - and the other one, it's neighbor, is cutting it's way through right now. Kika's taking it quite well - compared to everything else what happened to her this week, teething is a walk in the rose garden.
 
The school is about to start (on Tuesday), I am registered for two classes - Advanced Scientific Computing and Systems Computational Neuroscience - and I'm teaching Linear Algebra. And so I started to go to the nursery with Kika this week. The first day was very bad. She cried in the nursery and I cried in the library. She didn't want to eat there, didn't want to sleep there and zonked out on our way home. In the meantime, I've been thinking about quitting the school and collapsed with a drink at home after the little one was down for the night. The second day was a bit better, she ate a bit, slept a bit, but still not good. The problem is I don't even want her to get used to it if the price is that she'll learn that crying won't help her, so she'll just give up. And she doesn't know that I'll always come back...
 
... these and similar thoughts were suddenly interrupted by vomitting on Tuesday night. And so I cleaned her, changed her clothes and brought her into our bed (I didn't feel like changing her sheets in the middle of the night). It didn't take long before the two of us and our bed were covered in vomit, too. After that, we didn't sleep much and after a phone call, we went to the doctor in the morning. He said it was some kind of a stomach virus, that I should expect diarrhea and wash my hands frequently and carefully. No drugs, it's supposed to go away by itself. And so we returned home (thankfully without any more puking incidents, because I really wouldn't like cleaning the footmuff), did the laundry and waited what was going to happen.
 
Everything went out - banana, breastmilk, pedialyte (that's a solution to prevent dehydration in small children) and once the vomitting stopped, the diarrhea arrived as the doctor warned us. Yeah, we've done quite a lot of laundry in those two days. She's better now. She already seemed fine yesterday, just didn't want anything to eat (I'm not surprised), but she ate pureed veggies for dinner and breastfed a lot during the night once the hunger came (she was up probably 6times during the night, I don't know exactly, I stopped counting after the first three).
 
So we've lived through the first illness (since I'm not counting the little cold in Fall, that really cannot be compared to this) and I'm curious what's next. We've ve been prepared for the fact that kids in daycare are more sick but we didn't quite expect that she'll get hit so soon. Probably some residential viruses, to which all the other kids already have immunity.
 
Monday is holiday and we're going to try again on Tuesday (that's when I'm teaching for the first time, too). I'm not sure though, if she hasn't forgotten about the nursery in the meantime, som we might be starting from the beginning, because the week that was planned for getting used to this was spent completely differently.
 
I'm still not quite sure whether this is the right thing to do. Wish us well.

ukazuje sa, ze Kika je kamos a rada sa podeli...

vcera trochu prehnalo aj
mna, ale brala som to tak, ze ked uz som sa musela zaoberat tymi povracanymi a
pokadenymi vecami, tak som to mozno v nejakej lahkej verzii dostala aj ja

ale
dnes nam zlahol tato, z ktoreho to ide aj hornym koncom a hovori, ze takto zle
mu nebolo od Rencinej svadby (ti co boli, vedia o com je rec)...

cez den bol
instalovat nejaku novu verziu softu v praci, tak uvidime, ci o dva dni nebude
chora polovica NY metra

cafte,

tak to uz je co povedat - to k tomu ako ohodnotil misko ako mu je zle.
ja mam moju svadobnu noc v zivej pamati stale

tak vam drzim palce, nech ste
rychlo fit.

a k jaslickam, moj nazor je, ze ked ste sa na to dali, treba
vytrvat. tak isto si niektore deti "zvykaju" na skolku. rozdiel je, ze
uz maju 3 roky, takze ta mozu drzat za kabat ako kliest a nariekat "maminka
moja nenechavaj ma tu". coz moze byt este horsie.
Nas ondro ma teraz
obdobie, ze skusa, co si moze dovolit. takze parkrat za den sa srdcervuco
rozplace (k tomu prida mamama), ked ho nechcem odniest na rukach, ked mu nedam
ohryzat moj prst, ked ho nenecham vylievat caj z flase, ked ho nechcem pustit k
pc, ked ho nechcem pustit behat holateho po dome, ked ho chcem obliect, bo ideme
von ... a argument typu, ved ty vies chodit aj sam a mame si uz tazky, tak ju
trochu setri, ignoruje
drzim palce

Ked ma dietat 3 roky a ide do skolky, tak uz je rozumne a da sa mu vysvetlit a
pripravit ho na skolku tak, ze tam neplace. Nas pekne chodil do skolky prve tri
dni, bol pekne pripraveni, ze pre nho prideme. Ak na stvrty den nanho ucitelka
dost nakricala, lebo nechcel ukladat hracky, ktore ine deti rozhadzali (vsak
este nemal vtedy sestru po ktorej musel upratovat ), tak na dalsi den uz isiel
so stresom a s placom, lebo sa bal ze zase dostane v skolke krik. Myslim, ze
keby ucitelky po detoch nezjapali ale im dohovorili bez kriku, ze by to slo.
Deti nie su hlupe a vsetko vnimaju a snazia sa pochopit. Ivka podla mna, ked si
si nie ista, ze robis spravne, s tym, ze malu davas do jasli, tak ju nedavaj. Je
ste primala, a hlavne ked kojis, je na Teba omnoho viac naviazane ako
"flaskove" deti. Niekedy musime obetovat aj seba pre dobro dietata. Viem
o com hovorim. Drzte sa.
