Stomach Bug

Last night, Ella woke up at around 10 because she was sick. I washed and changed her bedding and pj's and sat on the couch with her. For the next 6 hours, every drop of water that she had came right back up. I was giving her 2 tsp of water every 15 minutes to no avail. There's a stomach bug going around and after 6 hours of retching, I finally woke Ron up and we headed to the ER. We were there 5 hours, which is crazy because when we arrived we were only one of two people there. The person in front of us had a puking toddler too. Slowly, as it got towards 6am, the waiting room filled up with little kids and their buckets. We finally saw a doctor at 7 and they gave Ella something to stop her retching, but then made us wait for 2 hours to see if it worked, even though they said it's affect was immediate. Ella sucked back her water and fell right to sleep. 2 hours later we were on our way home. It's going to be a quiet day as we are both running on only a few hours sleep. Luckily, as horrible as this bug is, it's supposedly short-lived.
