Audrey has been really sick the past few days. She threw up on Sunday and couldn't keep anything down. I finally just put her to bed at 5:30 because she was so grumpy but if I gave her anything to eat or drink she'd throw up in about 15 minutes. On Monday she didn't throw up at all but she was having massive diarrhea and all she wanted to do was sleep. I'm sure she was not keeping anything inside her then either and the fact that all she wanted to do was sleep was making me really concerned. I finally started giving her the knock-off brand pedialyte. It really seemed to help once she got all the milk out of her system. She perked up and acted a little happy and played some. I was getting encouraged. We gave her pedialyte for a couple days but then ran out. She was eating and seemed to be getting better, so I didn't go buy more since it's expensive. My mom watched the kids yesterday while I went skiing with Annette and Paul. Well, obviously the milk was reintroduced prematurely because she had diarrhea about every 10-15 minutes and even threw up again! So, I restarted the pedialyte, and she's been a lot better. So, I hope I don't have to give her that exclusively for a long time, because it's a TON more expensive than milk! Of course, her health is worth it, but I hope she gets better soon!
Here is Audrey feeling so tired and sick that she couldn't even wait to be brought to her crib.

Sad! We use Gatorade since it's cheaper and because we're cheap!
