Green Around The Gills

Poor Emmalina!
She is sick with a nasty tummy bug. I am not sure when it all started, because towards the end of last week she really wasn't eating well, but acting normal otherwise. She improved over the weekend, but when Billy picked her up from school on Monday, she was running a low grade fever and had multiple poopy diaps.
My little girl was a hot potato that evening, with fever in the 101s. Billy stayed home with her yesterday and she seemed to be doing a little better, although still running fever with Tylenol around the clock. We got her in to see the doctor yesterday afternoon and she seems to think that the fever should subside by Thursday. If not, then we need to do some tests.
We got her home, and she ate a some oatmeal and bananas and then I tried to give her some Motrin, and she vomited all over herself twice. :( My poor baby!
I had already planned to stay home with her today, and thank goodness. She had two different temperatures this morning and neither one of them good...102-105! Even her little fingers were burning up.
But, we got it down rather quickly with Motrin and Tylenol.
She kept some liquids down and she ate a bowl of oatmeal and bananas before laying down for her late morning nap.
Nana is coming in this evening to stay with her tomorrow.
I hate to see her not feeling well. I hope she starts feeling better soon.
