Another hospital trip

On Monday after school, Lucy started complaining of an upset stomach. By that evening, she was throwing up. By Wednesday morning, we knew we had to take her to the hospital, because by now we recognize the signs of dehydration and her body's inability to cope.

In the ER:

After one day and one night of IV fluids and IV zofran (anti-nausea), she was doing much better:


And by Thursday afternoon, she was feeling great:


By that evening, she was begging to go home and putting on a dance show for me:


We got to go home Thursday around 7:00 p.m. This was our shortest hospital stay with Lucy (thank goodness), and we are thankful she recovered so quickly. The nurses at CHOC/Mission Hospital are so great!

I wish that these things didn't get her so sick! But it's great that you and Jon now know how to deal with it and know the signs.
