We're battling the stomach virus
Paige started vomiting last night at about 6:45. We thought, at first, that something just didn't agree with her stomach but we soon figured out that it was a bug (after she got sick 9 times in 2 hours!). She got sick twice more about an hour later and slept restlessly all night. Paige woke up this morning asking for juice,so I gave it to her thinking that she's got to try to keep something down. WRONG IDEA! Within minutes, she was sick again and running a temperature. I called the local doctor because I didn't want to drive 30 minutes down the road to her pediatrician because the weather is really "iffy" here today. We immediately got in (after a little nudging from me!) and basically they said it was a very contagious stomach virus that will just have to run its course. The doctor did prescribe some Tylenol suppositories since she can't keep anything on her stomach. I hope Paige can at least keep some water down so we don't end up in the hospital for dehydration. She's resting in her crib right now and I'm trying to disinfect the house with Lysol. I hope Stephen and I don't get sick, too!
