7: Elizabeth has a stomach bug


After we arrived safely back in San Francisco, we had to wait around while Dave went to pick up the car. Elizabeth kept complaining that she was tired and cold. It wasn't that cold, but I thought she was just tired and hungry, as she hadn't eaten much all day.

As soon as we started driving home she fell asleep. However, about half way home she woke herself up by throwing up! Delightful. We thought maybe it was motion sickness, so we cleaned her up and continued home.

As soon as we got home she crawled into bed and went to sleep. It was pretty late, so we didn't think much of that. But she woke up a couple of times during the night to throw up again, and once more in the morning. She also developed diarrhea and a slight fever, so we decided it must be a stomach bug of some sort. She didn't want to eat anything all day, and just wanted to lay down and watch movies.

Fortunately she didn't throw up any more after that, and by the next day was feeling a bit better. She still had some diarrhea, and didn't have her usual appetite, but she had a lot more energy and was back to playing with her toys. The day after that she was fully recovered.
