Avalynn is sick

Poor Avalynn is sick. Yesterday when I picked her up from school her teacher came out holding Avalynn's book bag with gloves on and told me she had just puked all over her bag as she was getting ready to come home. The janitor cleaned it off best he could. When we got home Avalynn continued throwing up. She tried drinking a little and it would come right back up. Her stomach was also hurting her really bad and she had a fever of a little over 100. I made a bed on a cot in my room for her and we went up to bed around 8:00. She kept puking and was writhing in pain so much that she could not lay still and kept climbing off the cot. I was really worried that maybe she had appendicitis or something so I asked Kevin to take her to the ER. I would have gone but I didn't know how long we would be and with Kendall still nursing I would have had to take her also. When they got there they took some blood and gave her something to stop her from throwing up. Then they gave her some fluids through an IV. Kevin and Avalynn got home a little after 2:00 a.m. She seemed a lot better and was able to go to bed and slept until 6:45 this morning. She ate a small bowl of cheerieos and drank some powerade. She has been laying on the couch all day and sleeping on and off. She still has a temp and her stomach is still hurting but so far she has not thrown up since last night.
