But as of right now, Macalester has been barf-free 62 hours. At hour 35, I fed her a teaspoon of food. When that stayed down, Macalester graduated to a tablespoon of food, three times a day. So far, so good.
I did have a couple of scares last night. At bedtime, I came upstairs to find a huge wet spot by Macalester’s head. I thought she had barfed, but there wasn’t any food in it. Upon further investigation, all the bedding Macalester was sleeping on was dry, her beard was clean, and she didn’t have barf-breath. It was pee. And it was Sydney’s — probably from earlier in the evening when she was left upstairs on her own and she was whining and crying.
I also discovered that Sydney and John both have snores that sound like someone, or some dog, is getting sick. I’d sit straight up in bed and feel for Macalester. Who was sleeping soundly, of course. I think I got about 45 minutes of continuous sleep last night — between John and Sydney’s R.E.M cycles.
