To the doctor and back

I was definitely wrong the other morning when I said I thought Isabella was getting better. The poor thing has hardly eaten anything in 6 days!! Last night we had to wake her up at midnight to change her diaper, clothes, and sheets. Then I put her in bed with us, and at 3:00 this morning, while she was cuddling with me, she proceeded to throw up all over my face!!! The thought of anyone doing that to me absolutely grosses me out, but it's funny when it's your own child, I didn't even care. I just felt so bad for her. We took her to the urgent care clinic this morning where the doctor said it's a mixture of a virus along with her teething. She said since she's not in daycare she's not too concerned about it being rotovirus, but even if it was there's nothing they could do since it is a virus. She doesn't seem too dehydrated so they sent us home and said to offer pedialyte every half hour. I'm SO concerned about her not eating, but the doc said it's more important that she's getting fluids and she'll eat when she's ready. I hope that's soon!
