Hit with the stomach virus

So after a really good day yesterday, Grace got hit hard with a nasty stomach virus.  She was not keeping anything down.  Then then the fever started and I got really concerned.  She did not want to be held she was just shivering, while burning up with fever. She wanted to lay in the cold tub and I was just switching out towels when she would get sick.  Gator was very concerned about his girl and kept careful watch over her.

Thankfully she was able to get some Zofran down about 3:30am and then kept her Tylenol down about 45 minutes later.  Her fever finally broke and she slept about 3 hours.  I was getting Cowpoke ready for school and called our therapy office as soon as they opened.  I told them we were not coming today and she was sick.  I think my kids are only sick on Tuesdays, as that is when our pediatrician takes her day off.  We saw another doctor in the practice who she responded very well to today.  The verdict is just a nasty stomach bug.  She already has a low immune system because of her GI issues and now that she is taking all these steroids for her EoE we are going to get even more wonky things.  If the germs blow by in the air it will be our luck to catch it. So she misses school again. She made it one day last week.  We will pray she feels better for Thursday.  The good news is that this virus they are seeing runs about 12 hours, but because it is so intense he said her stomach may ache and be sore for 2-3 days. Hopefully she is on the mend.  She asked to watch Frozen so I know she is feeling a little better. :) Thank you for always praying for my girl! 

 

 

And happy Cerebral Palsy Awareness Day 2014 to all our fellow CP families!
