Sedona's (bad) tummy time

By MAGGIE WANG

I guess Sedona really wants to be like her mommy: SICK!

Sedona actually got incredibly disgustingly and yuckily (but so sweet and cuddly) sick.
She started vomiting at 9 a.m. today, and after 10-to-12 episodes (stopped counting after five ...) I brought her to the Torrance Memorial emergency room to check her hydration level, as ordered by our on-call doctor.

The whole process of the ER was just exhausting, but fortunately the solution was non-IV hydration-related. They gave her a grape flavored pill to reduce the nausea and calm her stomach and then had her drink one ounce of water every 15 minutes to see if she would vomit. After three ounces, we were discharged.

On Monday she'll be on a small-dosage clear diet to get her hydrated (so she'll have gone 48 hours with no solids) and then hopefully soft foods Tuesday to get her body used to food again. Go away soon, stomach virus!

  1. Glad there was no IV involved. What a terrible night though. So sorry you had to go through it. Hope she's feeling better today.
