The craziest never stopped. Emma

January 18, 2004 by Amy

The craziest never stopped. Emma started vomiting at 11:30 Friday night. After throwing up about every 20 minutes, at 3:30, Mom and I called it quits and Dad took me and Emma to the ER (Scott was working in Columbia). We were there until 7:00. I was so wiped out. She was still throwing up/started diarrhea Saturday and we took her back at 12:30 Saturday. We were there then until 4:30. She was not holding anything down. Today she had had a few more episodes and had begun to refuse to drink. We were concerned she had gotten dehydrated and took her back even though they had told us they’d probably admit her if she came again. This time we were there for about 2-3 hours but the dr assured us she wasn’t dehydrated and gave us a few more details on what to look for (tears, moist mouth). They also got her to eat a graham cracker after trying several things. Also, gave us more instructions on the nausea medicine. By the way, those suppositories are not nearly as scary as I’d thought they’d be. She took them really well. And I don’t have to worry about her throwing them back up. Anyway, she was in a better mood today and thought she was on the upswing. We came back to Columbia because Scott is working tonight. She threw up as soon as we hit the door and did once more again. I gave her her medicine and have to call the ped. first thing tomorrow for an appointment. Man, what a roller coaster weekend it has been.

    NO fun at all. We just went through this with our son. My husband and I had a stomach virus, but our son was vomiting from postnasal drip. I know you are sick of washing clothes/sheets/carpet and especially from seeing her feel bad. Hope they find out whats wrong and she feels better soon!
