Maddie hasn't been drinking of eating for two days so we took her into her pediatrician. They told us she has a virus and she's moderately dehydrated and the way we needed to get her to drink was to give her whatever she'd drink (Diet Coke, Water, Gatorade, popcicles) in a syringe down her throat. 1 tsp every 5 minutes for 2 hours. It wasn't fun and she didn't like it, or us for that matter. It still didn't help so we called back and they told us to take her to the ER for an IV to get her re hydrated. We sat around for about two hours while they checked her out. They tested her for strep and that came back negative. We just sat there trying to give her juice and popcicles because they didn't want to give her an IV. It was a long night. She's doing a little better today and she's drinking so it looks like she's on the road to recovery. It's just so sad to watch her though - she's just not her normal active self. Hopefully just a few more days and she'll be back to our playful little girl.
