Vomiting, Trip to the ER, and Eden Finally Loses a Tooth

Today we planned to watch a friend's kids.

Take them to the zoo with us.

And then go to the Pinewood Derby and Ward chili cook off.

Plans changed.

Paige woke up at 5 am throwing up.

And throwing up.

And throwing up.

We tried to get to her keep anything down....with no luck.

We had to inform our friend that we couldn't watch their kids.

The other girls went out all day to play with friends.

Tyson and I were on full time Paige duty.

Snuggle.

Try to get her to sip some form of liquid.

Vomit.

Change clothes.

Give Paige a bath.

Repeat.

After Paige had thrown up everything we tried to get her to drink using various methods...

(Ten vomiting episodes in total.)

We decided around 6 pm to take her to the ER.

She felt pretty good.

Only a low grade fever.

As long as she didn't eat or drink, she didn't throw up.

But she was weak from lack of energy.

So, we waited in hospital.

They knew how to clear it up.

They gave her some nausea medicine.

Gave us a Gatorade and a medicine syringe.

Told me to let them know if she throws up.

Instructed me to give her a little syringe full every 3 minutes.

Then after 20 minutes we gave her two syringes full every 3 minutes.

It was really quite torturous for Paige.

Drink a tiny sip of juice then force her to wait another three minutes to get another sip.

This is her "More Juice!" Face.

Then I'd finally get her calmed down and distracted.

And then it would be time for her next sip...and back to sadness.

But she finally finished her Gatorade.

She hadn't thrown up.

So they sent us home around 9 pm.

And I came home to a girl with a missing tooth!

Eden has officially lost her first tooth.

Tyson convinced her to let him take a tug at it.

She expected a lot more pain and was in shock to find out how easy it popped out.

She is having a hard time parting with her tooth...

So, she wrote the tooth fairth a little note.

Guess we'll find out how the tooth fairy will respond.
