Lola is not Lindsey Lohan


Lola went out and got herself an ankle bracelet just like Lindsey Lohan however Lola didn't get hers by being an idiot. Poor Little Lola had to visit Children's Medical Center a week ago tonight.
She began vomiting and by 1am had tossed her cookies 5 times. I paged our doctor who told us to get her into the hospital since that much vomit is too much for a 5 month old. She visited Children's and it was decided that she has acute gastroenteritis, a pretty common stomach bug. A week has gone by and Lola is still tossing her cookies. Her GiGi took her to the doctor on Monday and lucky GiGi ended up tossing her cookies Monday night! (photo taken just hours before Lola "vomited like a volcano")
We thought all was well when she went over 24 hours without an episode and then I got a call today from her teacher "this is just a courtesy call to let you know that Lola has just vomited like a volcano". I picked her up and took her back to the doctor. She's on a strict diet of breast milk & pedialyte. No formula and no cereal! We've been tasked to collect a stool sample... I'm sure this will be a great success since she's got mad diarrhea right now! If she doesn't stop vomiting by Friday she will have to get blood work done.
During the last week Lola continued to be her super cute self and is in great spirits! She learned how to sit up this weekend! She sat up by herself for almost 1 minute, Lindsey Lohan can't even do that!!

Poor little pukey Lola (and GiGi). I sure hope she's feeling better soon. Rowan wants to see her in her Halloween costume!

Great job on sitting up, too! She is such a big girl now.

No way!! How is possible that she's sitting up already?!
Seems like she was just born.
Poor baby Lola... (and Gigi) I hope and pray that they are both feeling better.
I promise not to tell what you keep under your desk!
