Brielle & The Stomach Flu

My poor little girl has had the stomach flu since Friday! This is the second time she's got it in her short little life! I hate seeing her so sick. It's not too bad when she's active and playing but pretty much all day yesterday she was just blah! No energy...all she wanted to do was sit there, cuddle and sleep. And if you know Brielle well enough, she is NOT that way! You know something is definitely wrong if she is acting that way. She was really shaky and pale. Last night, when we checked her temperature, it was 103 and that was under her armpit. (They say to add another degree or two on top of that when you don't do it orally.) Scott and I decided to take her into the ER. We wanted to get an accurate reading of her temperature. When we got there the doctor said what we already knew, but it was reassuring. Her temperature was 101, which is much better than 103. We had given her some Motrin before, so it had probably already kicked in. Anyway, I honestly got the worst pain in my chest, I was so worried about my little baby. I get so stressed out when my kids get sick!!! Today was a much better day, she had a few accidents and I had to bathe her 3 times! We didn't go to Church today, we didn't want to get any of the Nursery kids sick. The stomach flu is highly contagious! Hopefully tomorrow she is back to her cheerful, active, curious little self! That's what makes her Brielle!

Blowing kisses!
