Day 3

Stowa is still sick. Day 3 of this crap. Tuesday she was vomiting all day. Didn't want to eat. But when she did she'd start vomiting. Was clearly getting dehydrated which was why she had to go to the ER. A full day of no wet diapers = ER trip.

Yesterday her temp was at 99.? all day. I let it go. Her ped said that if it got to 100.0, then we load her up with Tylenol. So that's what I did. About 4 pm her temp was up to 100.4. She had been lethargic and puny all day. Gave her Tylenol and she took a nap. Around 7 when she woke up she looked like she was feeling better. She napped off and on until about 10. Temp was back up to 100.5. More Tylenol. She ate and then we were getting ready for bed. Which is when she promptly vomited all over the bed. Gave her some of the anti-nausea meds. Sat up with her until 1 am. She finally went to sleep.

Around 3:30 am she woke up to eat. While she was eating I noticed that she was hot. Temp 101.4. More Tylenol. Then she was just miserable. Restless, whiny, tired, etc. Poor kid. We sat up until 5:30 am. She passed out and the fever had gone down.

When we woke up this morning the fever was back (99.9) so she got more Tylenol. She's napping right now. She still doesn't feel good.

This sucks. I'm sick of cleaning up vomit. Yesterday the cats both decided to join in on the fun. I was vomiting again yesterday as well. Itchy didn't feel good yesterday either. This virus needs to go away.

*This post was not paid for by Tylenol, even though I mentioned them like 587 times.
