Aida

Last week, Aida had a mild stomach virus and missed a day and a half of school. Well, a week later, she got sick at school and then got sick again after school. She seemed ok until around 12:30 am. She woke up covered in "sickness." She had three baths before 7 am! I took her to the doctor the next day because she was near dehydration. I literally did 12 loads of laundry due to throw up and diarrhea! I felt so completely helpless and sorry for Aida. They took her blood at the doctor's office and she was so very brave. She almost passed out after getting her blood drawn which was a bit scary. She was so tired from the Dr., loss of fluids and sleep that she came home and slept during the day for 5 hours! She finally peed around 8:30 that night - 24 hours since her last pee! Scary! The Dr. think she had rotavirus, which causes severe diarrhea and dehydration in children. Luckily, she made a speedy recovery. It was definitely something we all won't forget soon! Here she is in the tub in her new tankini! Feeling better!
