She was throwing up and throwing up all night Sunday, into Monday. When it was light enough to tell what was going on, we saw that there was blood in her vomit. That was fairly alarming, so Darwin took her to the pediatrician. He was concerned she might have an ulcer and that it was bleeding. So, he sent us off to Primary Children's.
But he also warned us if she started vomiting bright red, we needed to get to ANY hospital along the way. So, I left with Ella, feeling a little scared after all of that.
She turned out to actually have rotavirus and probably a small tear in her esophogeus due to all of the violent vomiting. She was quite a trooper about it all. The first few days she was completely lethargic and slept most of the time, but by the time she got feeling a little better, she wanted to go home.
She put on her little dress, my shoes, packed her diapers in a bag, wiped down the hospital room with a wipe, and threw out all the papers she could find on the floor and started knocking on the door.
She's still not 100% yet. Still a little vomiting, but at least she's able to be home and is not completely listless.
Poor little monkey.
