When Brooklyn threw up 2 minutes after she woke up on Saturday morning,,I knew I was in for a long day. I definitely didn't realize what 'long' meant. Here's a recap of our adventures this weekend.
This is our sweet little girl Saturday morning, a few hours after the adventure began. She was running around outside, and giggling despite being sick.
About an hour after the first picture was taken, this is what she looked like. The poor girl was throwing up EVERYTHING. Even if she only took 2 swallows, 5 minutes later she would throw it up. She had a LONG day. She kept getting more and more weak. I realized she hadn't had a wet diaper all day. We called our pediatrician's office, and they told us to go to the ER. They gave her some anti nausea medicine to calm her stomach so she could hold liquids down.Which worked great! She didn't throw up again, but the next morning and the rest of the day she wouldn't drink anything at all. We tried sprite, popsicles, pedialyte, gatorade, and water. She had soiled diapers up to 3 or 4 times an hour. She also hadn't had a wet diaper all day, and she was pretty lethargic again.
So we took her back to the ER on Sunday night. They gave her fluids through an IV. Luckily she fell asleep after it was started. She wasn't too interested in drinking after she was pumped full, but she finally showed the nurse she could take a few swallows. She only wanted water. She turned down a popsicle, and pedialyte, much to everybody's surprise.
She was weighed on Monday, then Tuesday we went in and she was weighed again and had lost a ton of weight. So we go back tomorrow for another weigh in. The doctor was talking about putting her in the hospital if she doesn't get more fluids. She had an up and down day today. I am praying she doesn't lose any weight before her weigh in tomorrow. It would break my heart for my little munchkin to need a hospital stay. We would really appreciate prayers!
