A quick note here: it’s 2am and Lucy has thrown up in her crib four times in the past two hours. Jon is out of town. I’m hanging in there, but need some advice about stuffed animal care. <\/p>\n
Barney Bear and Piggy Lou haven’t been caught *directly* in the line of fire for these vomiting episodes, but they also haven’t escaped unscathed. I’ve been spot cleaning them, but I decided to finally take them out of the crib with this last bout as they weren’t looking (or smelling) so fresh anymore. I gave Lucy her stuffed zebra instead, and she seemed to accept it just fine — especially after I explained that Barney and Piggy Lou needed a bath.<\/p>\n
So, can I toss these animals in the wash? or at least in the dryer? Does rubbing hand sanitizer on them help at all? I must say, being a slight “germophobe”:\/news\/2007\/germophobe\/ is not really helping me in this situation. How can I restore our animal friends to their usual clean and fresh-smelling selves?<\/p>\n
You could pray for us, too. All the solids seem to be out of Lucy’s system now, but she just threw up a bunch of water (since she had been drinking water after her vomiting episodes). If she throws up again, I’m going to give her some ice chips, but I’m really hoping her stomach will settle now and she’ll just sleep. We both need it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
