Sick Day #2

Yesterday Emma stopped throwing up about 7:30 in the morning. The doctor said to not give her anything, even water, for 2-4 hours, then only clear liquids for 24 hours. She started to act more like herself as the day went on, and she was getting a little cranky, so I let her have a couple pieces of Rice Chex and apples before bed. She didn't eat much. She had a hard time getting to sleep though, and finally went down sometime around 9. I thought she would be exhausted from the day before, and I guess she was, because she didn't get up this morning until 9:15. (Although she did wake up in the night several times, but she went right back down.) She has a fever and has been very lethargic today. For breakfast she had Rice Krispies and Cheerios with a strawberry. However, for lunch I could only get her to eat a few bites of watermelon (which is one of her favorite foods). She is just not herself...quiet and still, snugly, and she falls asleep on me every time I put a movie on. This is what she did when I put her down after 'lunch.'
She stayed like this until I asked her if she wanted to watch a movie.

My happy girl on Monday
She is napping in her bed now, and if she isn't improving by tomorrow I will call the doctor again.
