Spew time

**UPDATE**

It's been over six hours since Kailyn has thrown up. And she's kept an entire cup of Pedialyte down. Great news. Maybe she's getting better...


**previous info**

My daughter got sick again yesterday. She hasn't been able to keep water down in 24 hours. That's a bit scary. Even the Phenargen that usually calms her stomach is not helping at all.

Last time a stomach virus hit her like this, she was hospitalized and put on an IV to restore her body fluids. I don't want that to happen again. First, it was pretty traumatic on her - walking around with an IV in her arm for nearly 2 days. Second, our 'new' health insurance (one of Stacey's benefits) is lousy. Instead of owing the nice $100 we paid last time for a hospital visit, we could owe thousands, since the new insurance only pays 50% of hospital visits. Good grief.

I really hope Kailyn feels better soon. More time is passing between vomiting fits...maybe that's a good thing.

God help us if the Z gets sick, too. Wow. Or me. Or Stacey (again). Nurse at Kailyn's doctor said this stuff is potent compared to stomach bugs she's seen in the past. Lots of admissions to the hospital. -sigh-

I was never hospitalized as a kid when I caught one of these things. Neither was Stacey. Either our kids' doctor is more educated these days than our doctors were when we were kids, or he's "admission-happy." It's probably the former, but it just seems to me there are a lot of admissions for a lot of kids. Last time, Kailyn's electrolytes got really low, so I know it was a good call. But I was never even tested as a kid for that sort of thing. And I got better (-pause to hit myself in the head with my palm at random-...heh).

Now I'm just babbling on and on...

Hope she gets better soon...
