home from the hospital.
She had to have lab work done and Xrays. Poor thing.
She remained like this for about 3 hrs. Then at 4p, something amazing happened. She got up, walked over to me (she hadn't walked all day) and wanted to sit next to me. I was eating, and she wanted a bite. Well... there was no way she could eat pizza like I was... so I made her some toast. She took one bite and wouldn't eat anymore. So, I asked if she wanted some applesauce. She nodded yes. I fed her a small cup of applesauce. She drank a little tea. She sat for a few minutes... then ate a little more applesauce.
By 7p, she was wanting cereal! I was reluctant to do this (I was still thinking she was going to upchuck the applesauce). But, she insisted. So, I gave her some rice cereal with a little milk. She drank the milk and asked for more. I gave her a little more milk. She drank that and ate a few bites of Rice cereal. We have hit a turning point!
By 8:30p, she stole one of Courtney's cookies and raced off to eat it.
That is the Cadie I know!
Not sure what this virus was... but apparently it had the power to really wreck Cadie. She was sick to the point she has lost 3lbs. She was lethargic, she was puking or had diarrhea the whole time. She had a 3 day stent in the hospital with IVs, and seriously had me worried something major physically was wrong.
I am THANKFUL it was just a virus (I say just a virus like it didn't make her so sick that she couldn't hold down food for a week)!!

OMGoodness. I am so glad she is ok. Poor Baby. You know it's serious when they have to have IV's. Glad she is doing well. That gave me the giggles that she stole Courtney's cookie.
