Quick Checkup

We had a visit to the pediatrician today for AM's 18 month check up. I just wanted to record this while it was on my mind since I'm not the best at remembering to write these things down right away in her book. It was an abnormal visit. It was supposed to just be her well visit check up but unfortunately last night AM caught the stomach bug that her daddy and I have been recovering from. It was awful. The virus was so bad that I had to go to the ER Saturday night to get IV fluids for dehydration. While we were there Trey got sick. Keep in mind that this is late Saturday night so we had to wake her up to take her to the hospital with us. She was a trooper, of course. We thought we were going to be in the clear as far as AM was concerned but at 9pm last night she threw up. For the first time. Bless her little heart, she threw up every 20 minutes for a couple of hours. This morning the diarrhea hit. So needless to say she didn't get her shots this morning that she was supposed to get. We'll go back on Monday for those. She has been quite the trooper though and it seems that her virus may not last as long as ours has. Thank you God! It is terrible to watch your child get sick. This was a first for us and I hope we don't have to experience it again for a long time. Of course I'd really like to never go through it again but I know that won't be the case.

She has lost a couple of pounds needless to say. She was 28.5 lbs (92%) and 33 in tall (90%) and her head's circumference was 18 in (75%).

Hopefully we can all get caught up on rest tonight. After the long trip and then this horrible virus, we are exhausted! I hope all of you are staying well.
