Poor Little Emma

Emma has been sick the past couple of days. It started Tuesday afternoon. She started having several poops. She had 5 between 3pm and bed time. Then Wednesday morning, she woke up with a temperature of 101.7. She slept most of the day yesterday and when she would wake up, she would cry. Also, we had a hard time feeding her yesterday. She took her bottle a couple of times but then the other times, she just looked at it. She also had a lot of diarrhea yesterday. [9 diapers total] This morning about 3:15 am she woke up with a temperature of 103.5. We gave her some motrin and then it came down to about 99.7. Well this morning she still had diarrhea with a little mucous[ TMI I know] so I took her to the pediatrician. She does have a a stomach bug but NO ear infections.[thank goodness] The doctor said that she didn't feel like she was contagious and that she woul be ok in a day or two. Since Emma isn't eating, she said to try and give her some formula in a syringe. If she doesn't take that, then it may be time for some IV fluids. Right now, its been about 7 hours since she has ate. She doesn't really have too much interest. Hopefully we will be able to get enough in her to atleast keep her hydrated. She should be good as new in a few days.
