Ahh, yes, what a typical Monday...Elise threw up five (yes 5) times today. Twice she got me. Then I learned that when she says her belly hurts, get her to the toilet stat! If memory serves, this is the first time she's thrown up as a real person (not just burping up). Poor baby couldn't keep a thing down -- not even Pedialite. So, after the third time, I called our doctor; a nurse freaked and said I should be in the ER immediately but that a time slot had just opened in the evening if I wanted that. So, I did. I was tempted to cancel it after we had a good two hours of nothing. But, she threw up once more at home and again right outside the doctor's door. Jonathan was very little help there, unfortunately, but I did have the foresight to bring a towel with me.
Bottom line: Doc says she's got a normal stomach bug. Her lips are dry but her tongue is not, so she's ok, but needs to be hydrated...but only in small sips to help keep it down. She should lie low tomorrow (rest and fluids), and assuming all goes well, she should be ok again on Wednesday.
Great, so I'm house-bound for 48-hrs, and in all likelihood, some/all of us will get touched with this. I'm already psychosomatic.
