Just another day at the Sullivan's

Yesterday my sister Rebecca, Annie, and I went to Annie's pediatrician's office to get a check-up, weight check (41+ lbs.), height check (45 inches), and electrolyte draw (unsuccessful). While we were there, Annie threw up her lunch. We discussed what might be causing the nausea, so the doc recommended a stress-dose of hydrocortisone, as well as some other tweaks to help Annie. Then Bill, Annie, Peter & I drove down to Children's in the evening to get the electrolyte draw, and while we were in the lab's waiting room, she threw up her dinner.

We decided that things seemed to be quickly going from bad to worse, so we walked down to the ER and got an IV for the electrolyte draw, (they were perfectly within normal ranges), an emergency dose of hydrocortisone, and an anti-nausea med. We took her home around midnight, gave her another dose of stress-dose hydrocortisone, a bag of Pedialyte, and all her other meds around 5 AM, and she's still asleep here at 8:45.

I think I'll go out in the garden and eat worms today.
