Our little Caroline has been a sick girl :( On Monday she started throwing up and refusing to eat and drink. This continued throughout the week. And then not only was she throwing up, but she was having diarrhea too. It wasn't fun. It got even worse when Mommy and Daddy got the same bug. On Thursday Daddy actually stayed home from work and I don't think the three of us left the sofa all day. Finally on Friday Caroline started to show signs of improvement, but it didn't last long and by Friday night our on-call doctor was sending us to the ER to have her evaluated for dehydration. She had blood work done and her levels were low, but thankfully they were high enough that we were sent home with instructions to force feed her liquids with a syringe. We didn't get home from the hospital until midnight so we decided to wait until the morning to make her drink. Wouldn't you know that at 5:30am when she woke up she was thirsty and chugged down a sippy full of water! Although she wasn't completely back to normal yesterday, it was definitely a good sign. And I am happy to report that today she has her appetite for food and liquids back. She was banging on the cabinets all day begging for food :) Although she did throw up once today...but that was from eating her pieces of pear too fast!
