Poor baby....

Sunday night Isla woke up a bit before 10 vomiting. By midnight, her tummy was empty and she was vomiting bile. I think I'd taken 4 or 5 showers by this point as momma was the target most of the times she got sick. We went to the ER in the middle of the night and she got some IV fluids so we could try to keep her out of the hospital. We went to see Dr. S mid morning Monday and called her back around 4 to let her know Isla hadn't kept anything down. She admitted us for 23 hour observation and more IV fluids. Her fever went up to over 103 and poor baby just felt awful. She wouldn't eat anything most of the day today but we did get the ok to try solids which she was interested in once her fever went down since what fluids she had had stayed in. But since she hadn't really had much, we're staying another night. The solids she ate didn't stay in so we're back on solids. Isla's in bed asleep. If she gets up during the night, I'll try to give her jello or a Popsicle so we can see if she can keep something down. At this point, I expect when Dr. S rounds tomorrow morning, she'll say we'll have to see if she keeps anything down. We don't want to take her home and have her continue vomit ting or not eating and dehydrate again. As long as we're here, she has an IV bag of fluids and will stay hydrated. Damn bug.

Update: We got to go home Wednesday and Isla seemed back to herself. I took her to daycare today though and had to pick her up right after lunch because she was vomiting again. We had a few more episodes after we got home, but baby girl was hungry too. At one point she was cramming crackers in while she was puking. Silly girl. The past few hours have been quiet, so momma is praying for the best. We're supposed to have a playdate Saturday so I'll see how she does tomorrow and let the other momma know what's going on. Hopefully today was just a little relapse and she's all better now!
