Car sickness
Anyone's kids get car sick? I don't have any experience with it, but yesterday after Brinley's appointment we were driving home and she suddenly said she was hot and promptly threw up.
When we got home she was fine and hungry--asking for all kinds of food to eat and wasn't bothered at all by an upset stomach.
Could it be carsickness?
I'm looking for a possible answer so I stop freaking myself out that she has diabetes and it was a problem with her blood sugar.

Re: Car sickness
She could have gotten car sick. The same thing happened to Noah once - kept telling me he was hot and then right when I told him he was fine, it wasn't hot, he barfed all over the car/carseat.
I get terribly carsick a lot of the time (esp if I'm in the back), and I can tell you that as soon as I am out of the car, I am fine. (Within a few minutes)
I get mild car sickness. I can't read or look at something on a mobile device in the car sometimes. Other times I'm fine -- it just depends! Was she reading or anything that might have brought it on?
For me, eating something salty helps, but again mine is a fairly mild case.
I got horrible car sickness as a child, and still can't sit in the backseat for long now a days. Even can't ride as a passenger in the front seat when the car has tight steering cause I get carsick. And I can't read anything in the car. But when I have to sit in the back or am in DH's car which has tight steering, I always get hot flashes while I get nauseous. I have to open the window or blast the AC onto me. Once I am out of the car, I'm fine in a few minutes. And eating something light seems to calm my tummy.
I'd say it was most likely car sickness.
Kelsey has motion sickness and it sucks. There's not a whole lot you can do about it either. We've done kids dramamine for long trips, which seems to help. Our ped suggested giving her something to eat like a sucker, to try to keep everything flowing down.
She typically seems fine by the time I get her out of the car seat and cleaned up. She also usually wants something to eat/drink not long after...
