Well, Sydney had her first stomach bug this week. Before I give you the whole story, though, I'll tell you: she's doing fine, so don't worry.
Basically, Sydney threw up Tuesday evening, around 7ish. She wound up throwing up 2-3 more times Tuesday night. We did have to call the pediatrician's on-call nurse to get Pedialite instructions (we knew to use it, but weren't sure how much, how often). But we kept her well hydrated and she kept yesterday's breakfast (and every meal since then) down.
At no point did she run fever, become lethargic, cry inconsolably (or much at all), stop having wet diapers or stop drooling, or any of the other signs that would have indicated anything serious. Jeremy stayed home with her yesterday, just in case.
She's has some diarrhea yesterday and today, but once again, has stayed hydrated, and is eating, although less than usual by about 4 oz. per day. So, she definitely is having a stomach bug, but she's mostly through it, and for a first illness, it wasn't bad at all.
We kept the old hitchhiker's motto: "don't panic" and everything seemed like it would be okay. We're still keeping an eye on her, but we didn't feel like she needed to go into the pediatrician or anything. She went to Libby's house today and did fine.
So, there's your Sydney update for the week. : )
