Poor Baby......

This is just a quick update to let you all know what's been going on here with us. Starting Friday, Ariel was complaining that she wasn't hungry. That is very not like her, but I had given her a few snacks, so I blamed myself. When she got up from nap, she had an accident, which she NEVER does. So we then knew something was wrong with her. We just kind of babied her and sent her to bed thinking it was a bug or something she ate and it needed to run its course.

Saturday morning, she woke up vomiting. She kept nothing down. I ended up taking her to the Emergency Room on Saturday night because I was afraid she was dehydrated. They gave her an anti-nausea pill and some Pedialyte. They told me if she kept down the pedialyte she'd be fine, but if she threw up the pedialyte that they'd have to do more tests. And they sent us home.

Sunday morning, she was SO thirsty we gave her some warm 7-up and she IMMEDIATELY asked for her bucket to "spit the yuckies". After that vomit, she seemed to be on the up and up. She was laughing and giggling and being naughty so we thought she was fine and went ahead and left her with Grandma and Grandpa. She ate for them and had a Mr. Freeze and I was excited that that all was staying down. Well....when we got there to pick them up, she hugged me and EVERYTHING she had consumed went down the front of my shirt. So it was off to the ER we went again.

When we got there she had a fever of 99.7 and her heart rate was 130. Doctor wasn't too excited about that so they gave her an IV and 700 ml of saline along with some more anti-nausea medicine (and sent some home with us!!) and some Motrin for the temp that eventually escalated to 102.4. Three hours later we were all exhausted and just wanted to sleep. Thankfully Aunt Amanda was back in town and could stay with Belle so Daddy could come with me to the ER this time.

Today, she is VERY quiet, and her temp is down and she is keeping down small amounts of liquid and watching Playhouse Disney in her jammies. We are waiting the results of a couple of tests just to make sure it's not something bigger going on in that little body. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers for a quick recovery. Keep Mommy Daddy and Sister in your prayers too that we don't get it and that we are strong for her.
