After a nice afternoon spent playing in the kiddie fountains at Desert Ridge, Graisyn informed me that she didn't "feel good." She was telling the truth as not ten minutes passed before she began throwing up. And throwing up and throwing up. I saw dinner come up in reverse. (The strawberry ice cream tinted everything beautifully.) She finally passed out in mommy and daddy's bed and I thought the worst had passed.She woke up three hours later and the vomiting began again...all over our bed, unfortunately. Not to be left out, Eliza woke up and decided to join the fun by throwing up all over her crib. At this point neither child's color looked particularly good, Grai was shaking and I was convinced that the water in the fountains was poisoned. So, we packed up both children and headed to our nearest ER -the one that advertises that "you will be seen by a doctor in 30 minutes." Their advertisement is true. You are seen quickly. Treating you takes forever. Our visit stretched over 5 hours. Grai was given IV fluids and antibiotics for a bladder infection. Eliza was also diagnosed with a UTI.
Everyone is now home. Graisyn has a wonderful story to tell this week at preschool and the antibotics only make Eliza throw up 50% of the time which is 150% less vomiting than Friday night so I am happy. Although, her pediatrican will be getting a call tomorrow requesting a new antibiotic.
Here is a picture of Eliza at the fountains before all heck broke loose. She is sitting really well and pushing herself up to all fours. Crawling can't be far away.
