Oh puke.

Ok, so things haven't gotten much better yet. Sunday, LO started to act sick again. Lathargic, etc. Didn't think too much of it, but kept an eye on it. Took her to daycare on monday, and was thinking of calling, but was SO busy at work, I didn't get a chance. When I went to pick her up, she had puked on the worker and was on her second fever. They didn't call me! Then she told me that LO had NOTHING to eat all day. She said that she didn't even come to the table at lunch. Um, she's 1, you have to bring her to the table..... I was really mad when I saw that they didn't even open her food or yogurt. I was ready to have her switch daycares. I took her home, and fed her the yogurt, which she ate up gladly. I was really mad then. Until.....she barfed it all up, and then some, in her highchair...... Oh dear... So when hubby came home, we decided to take her in. We didn't know if we should go to the clinic or emerge, but we decided the clinic would probably be faster. So we get her out of her car seat and are taking her into the clinic when she started puking her guts out all over the walkway infront of the door..... :S I swung her around so her mouth was facing the ground, and let her go for it. She got my sleave, her coat, and then hubby's shoulder when he picked her up. So we turned around and took her to emerge, smelling really pretty..... ICK!! But we did get in almost right away because there was hardly anyone there, and we, um, smelled...."Sour." as the nurse said.... hehe. Doc said she was a little dehydrated but not enough to put her on the IV. He told us to give her small amounts of water (2 tbsp or less) every 10-15min and bring her back in if she didn't improve in 12-24 hours. She threw up the water at first, but slept all night. I took tues off of work, and she did nothing but sleep. She didn't want to play or walk around, which is so not like my LO. We put her to bed, and she got up around 10, and again at 3:30, both times because of diarrhea. At 3:30, she drank 5 oz of water/juice mix, so when I got her up at 6 and she still didn't pee, then I thought I should bring her in to the ER again. So I did, called work and said I'd be late. Went to ER and again, thankfully, there was no one there. Doc said she is still a bit dehydrated, but not too bad. Worried him that she didn't pee, and her diarrhea was very watery, but decided against IV hydration. He sent us to the quiet room and asked the nurse to bring us a bottle of milk, and I would feed it to her and wait until she voided. Thank goodness, it didn't take her long. She voided a bit about an hour and a half after we got there. YAY! So he sent us on our way, and said if she still has diarrhea in 7-10 days, or if there is blood in the diarrhea, to bring her back, or if she gets worse. 45 min after we left, she had puked (a very small amount) and pooped twice (once right through her clothes.... in the car....)Oh the joys. She is eating better now, but is still very clingy and doesn't want to move around at all :( I would like to keep her home one more day, but I don't want to miss work either. I called work to tell them I'd be late, and then called my boss back to say that the doctor wanted me to keep her home another day. She was totally fine with it. The doctor seen I was dressed for work and asked if I needed a dr's note. I didn't think so, but wasn't sure, so I asked my boss. She seemed a bit taken back by it and said No, we just need to write something in for your time. I said oh I guess it's vacation... and she said "well" and then I said "Not a fun vacation!" haha. I've only been back to work for a few weeks, and I have needed time off every week for either: sick child, child's appointments, wakes and a funeral. Oh Puke. 2011, you suck so far!!! I hope LO gets better soon, although I have to admit, I love cuddling her and watching home design shows on tv :)
