So the drama continued on through the night and the next morning...we set our alarms to get her up every three hours to give her Tylenol and Motrin. She finally was able to sleep from about 5am -9:30am. Once she got up we went to see the Dr. She has since lost about a pound and a half (from the throwing up and diarhea) and the Dr. wanted to test her urine to see if she had an infection or bacteria...well, I don't know about other kids, but my 16 month old is not potty trained and can't pee on command in a cup - so they had to do a catheter. OH NO! I did not want to be the one to pin my little angel down nor did I want to be in ear shot of her cries so I opted to leave the room and wait out in the lobby until it was all over and then I would go in and rescue her. Well, a 5 minute procedure felt like eternity to a worried and sleep deprived mommy. Finally, the nurse got me and I went to save Evelyn. I held her and within seconds she was happy again. Her temp was down to 97.6 and I was told that the urine test should be in by Friday or Saturday. I got the call today with the results of one test that they ran on her urine and she has a little bit of bacteria in it, but nothing to be concerned about. The other test comes in tomorrow and I should get a call then.
Today, Evelyn woke up singing and talking like normal (music to a mother's ears) and she has been doing ok with eating meals. She still has some dia-nasty to get out of her system still (it smells so bad it made me dry heave this morning - I KNOW...NASTY!!) Her temp is pretty much normal and I think we'll be just fine for the weekend. PHEW! Glad it's all coming to an end!!
