Frequent Flyer Card?

We were back at the children's hospital again, the second time in just a few weeks. This time we werent admitted, but spent the whole day in the ER due to Brooke being dehydrated as a result of a bout of gastroenteritis (aka, the stomach flu). The triage nurse even recognized us! I admit, its a great hospital, but I'd be perfectly happy to never walk in those doors again.

Brooke was infused with a bunch of liquids to help with the dehydration, via an IV. That part of the trip is the 2nd worst medical experience I have had with her to date. It was very traumatic for both her and us :(

We were back home last night and have been working to keep her fluid intake up. She also has refused to eat for the past few days, so now calorie consumption is becoming a priority.

She's been hanging out in her Dora PJs all day and seems to be pretty happy. She probably cant figure out why I keep harassing her about drinking juice when I always tell her she can't have any juice and its only for "special occasions"!
