Shiny Fly
Today is Sat, but this Tues, Vivian came to the table where I was sitting, and began whimpering to be picked up, as she normally does whenever I am trying to eat.
Immediately I smelled something very bad, and took her to change the diaper. Except there was nothing in the diaper. ????
I smelled her face, and hands and the "smell" was emanating from there. It was so gross.
I then checked the bathrooms, thinking she had gotten to an unflushed toilet, but both doors were closed. (We have to keep her out of the bathrooms b/c the toilet is a favorite place to play in the water)
Since I could not find the source of the smell, I wiped her down with wipes and then antibacterial cleanser and continued on with the day.
When I went to the table to sit back down, a little black rat poop looking thing on the floor caught my eye. I got a paper towel, picked it up and it was a green, shiny fly without wings. I suppose in the handling of it, the wings had been amputated!
When I held it to my nose to get a positive smell ID, I just about fell over! It smelled like a dead landfill.
I wanted to call the dr immediately! But of course the offices close between 12-2 and it was about 12:30pm.
Upon calling Daddy, he suggested I make some very strong lemonade out of fresh lemons since lemon juice kills anything.
The next day, Vivian came down with fever and vomited. That was Wed. On Thurs, she had diarrhea and fever and Thurs night, her fever was 104.3!!!! Fri a visit to the dr confirmed she was getting over it, her temp was only 99.3 and today, Sat she is back to her normal self.
