Stomach Flu

Well, the last 24 hours we were hit with the Stomach Flu here. Hollin woke us up at 5:30, which she has never done since she was brand new. She was throwing up, we gave her a bath and then she was fine... or so we thought! We spent the rest of the day with a bowl and cuddling on a waterproof blanket. The kid broke my heart because she was so sick. At one point she hadn't had a wet diaper in over 9 hours so we were rushed to the doctor's office where they checked her for dehydration. She was dehydrated but not quite bad enough to go the ER, close but not quite. She ended up drinking some stuff and throwing it up so we thought for sure we were headed to the ER but we still had medicine to give her, which worked MIRACLES! She drank small sips and eventually had a wet diaper. We were on the up and up. All three of us spent the night sleeping down in the family room. She woke us up at 1:30 begging us for a Banana. Always a good sign!

Today she is doing much better- not 100% but better. Our poor little peanut! I can tell you one thing, it is awful being a mom when you can't do anything for your kid when they are so miserable. It killed me! I spent most of the day crying- and for any of you who know me- IMAGINE that??? Just kidding!

We are looking forward to a great night of sleep. In our own beds. This will help us all- because my back is killing me from the floor! Too old for that arrangement anymore. :)
