Our little girl was her normal self all day yesterday. She went down for her nap @ her normal time and woke up her normal groggy self. An hour later, at 6 she threw up... and threw up and threw up and... you get the idea. At 8 all she was throwing up was bial. We gave her some Childrens Gravol @ 9 and that came right back up. She was so thirsty and tried a couple sips here and there but she just couldn't keep anything down. From 9 to 12 she threw up every 45min - 1hr, I finally took her into the hospital at midnight.
We got there and the nurse in triage gave lana some meds, it stayed down for about 30 mins. I let her know that she threw up again so she gave her another dose. That was the first thing in over 6 hrs that stayed in her belly. After 2.5 hrs of waiting we had this young Dr come in and touch her belly and told me she's fine. Since she kept the meds down he gave me the green light to slowly introduce fluids again. He kept on using the term "barf," I realize it's 2am but can you try to have a little professionalism? ANYWAYS, the nurse gave Lana 4 stickers and a freezie, she was so happy to get a sticker of Woody and Bo Peep (Toy Story), it totally made up for the lack of sleep and food in her evening. We got home and she sucked on her freezie for a couple of minutes, guzzled down a bit of water and she was in bed by 3am.... only to be woken up @ 8 by the pups shenanigans.
She just went down for a nap @ 10.
I talked with Christie (dayhome) and this bug is making its way through the dayhome, 4 of her kids were throwing up last night! Apparently if you don't ween them back into food there's more vomit in the future. Thus far all she's had is water and a couple of whole wheat soda crackers.
Here's hoping RW doesn't catch it.
