Home from the hospital

Gracie came down with a nasty stomach bug over the weekend. She quickly became severely dehydrated (totally lethargic), so had a 24 hour stay in hospital for IV fluids. The staff on the pediatric unit were so great with her that she did not want to leave. Too cute!
We are home again and Grace still has the flu symptoms, but it seems more manageable since she was rehydrated well in hospital. Mom and Gordie are helping out lots, and I am able to take some time to nap and work when needed.
Hopefully, Grace will be better soon! The pediatrician gave us some good suggestions for next time Grace gets sick. We can start Zofran right away....a powerful anti-nausea drug. He said that this helps kids who are "super-vomiters", like Grace. Whenever Grace starts to vomit, it quickly spirals out of control. The usual Pedialyte treatment does not help when she is sick. He also stressed that Grace's "super-vomiting" status is superimposed on her being a picky eater that struggles to stay on the growth charts.
All of this sounds terrible, but it validated what I have been saying all along about her. She needs quick medical intervention to help her when she is sick like this.
Fingers crossed that this passes soon!
