Fundo Diary part 3: Nappygeddon

One and a half days after the operation...

At 2am this morning I was woken up by what sounded like a water pistol being fired in the little guy's cot. I could hear a liquid substance being sprayed at high speed against some kind of surface and for a moment I wondered what it was.

Then I smelt it.

Then the farty noises started.

Oh.

I spent the rest of the day changing nappies full of watery green slime, requesting clean sheets and getting increasingly worried. “He's probably picked up a bug,” the doctors said, sending a nappy off to be tested by some poor unfortunate lab rat. The nurses moved us into an isolation room, just in case.

When he started vomiting I panicked even more. Should that even be possible now? He was heaving for minutes at a time, his stomach contorting violently and all he brought up was a mouthful of milk and… a small spot of blood.

Worried.
