Poor Sick Sophie!

Poor sick Sophie! I noticed she seemed to be eating less and less over the last few days. Then she began having diarrhea, exploding on to me and wrecking several of her outfits. Last night she projectile vomited all over her crib and woke this morning with a completely dry diaper. So, it was back to the doctor today where we discovered she had lost 9 ounces in the past 48 hours. It seems she has contracted a stomach virus. We've been instructed to give her pedialyte and watch her for signs of dehydration. If she goes more than 6 hours without a wet diaper (she went almost 10 last night), we'll need to take to the ER for some IV fluids. I doubt it will come to that as she just downed 2 ounces of pedialyte and has gone several hours without any diarrea episodes. Bless her heart, she hasn't been complaining much at all!
