Still Sick

Mattie started with a stomach virus on Thursday around dinner time. She had gotten sick several times. She slept through the night just fine. Then she started with runny diapers on Friday. She had several of those and by 3:00, I felt like she was getting better. She was walking around the house and getting into all kinds of things. She wasn't interested in eating at all but I was able to give her some Pedialyte throughout the morning. Then around 3:30 her tummy decided it didn't like that anymore either. She fell asleep around 6pm and slept until 6am this morning. I know she had to be very thirsty so I gave her some more Pedialyte. I didn't want her to dehydrate. Surely she would be better. No, she threw that up too. I am quite puzzled by this. She hasn't had any fever and goes through spells when she acts fine. I've never seen a tummy bug last this long. I am going to take her to her doctors as soon as they open this morning.


Update: I took Mattie to the doctors. She said that I should give her 1 oz. doses of pedialyte every 15 min. Her tummy can't handle more than that at a time. Really. I should have had enough common sense not to let her suck down more than that. It is so pitiful only giving her 1oz. It's such a tease when she is so thirsty. So far it is working and it has stayed down. Right now she is...........

sleeping.
