Update again
I'm taking her in for a 3:10 appointment. She is even worse. Just lays against me without moving. Hardly opens her eyes and is breathing rapidly.
Send good thoughts. We need them.
Update yet again
She seems to have "just" a virus. She isn't too dehydrated, which is good. Doc said to keep up the nursing as much as she wants and to offer Pedialyte in small amounts throughout the day to help balance out her electrolytes. She is probably stumbling a bit and out of it because of the imbalance going on in her system. Before we left for the doc the nasty diarrhea began. Oh joy. Nothing like blow outs in the non-infant set. Yuck.
We should start seeing in improvement in her in the next day or two but he warned that we should expect to see occasional daily vomiting (1 or 2 times a day) and diarrhea for a week or two.
Isn't being a mom great sometimes? :)

Oh, I hope she is doing better. Will definitely keep you guys in my thoughts and prayers.
I'm thinking of you two. Please keep us posted. Hugs!
For a week or two??? That is crazy!!! Oh, that poor little girl! I'm sorry. I really hope it doesn't take that long for her to feel better!
Oh man. We have not yet had the flu this winter. Knock on wood. But Lucas and I had it really bad in June. We had to take Lucas in to the hospital and they hooked him up to an IV. Poor little guy. It was damn scary. You know your instincts kick in and you know that they are dehydrated and need some medical attention. One hour on the IV and he was back to his old self. Well almost. He went from lying not moving to sitting up and talking. Holy...sorry a book here. :-) Hope things improve soon. I'll be watching for updates! :-)
This is truly the part about parenting I hate the most - not knowing EVERYTHING or WHEN it will get better.
I'm thinking of you and yours!
Casey,
I feel your pain. We haven't had it this year...yet. I hope she's feeling better soon!
ACK... I'm sorry she is still under the weather. I hope you see signs of improvement daily! I also hope NO ONE ELSE comes down with this... especially you.
For both of your sakes I hope she gets well soon. Take care.

Common Breast Cancer Myths
The first myth pertaining to this disease is that it only affects women.
Second myth that is associated with this disease is that if one has found a lump during an examination, it is cancer.
Third is that it is solely hereditary
The next myth associated with breast cancer is downright ridiculous. Would you believe, that in this day and age, some individuals still think that breast cancer is contagious?
Conversely, some individuals foolishly believe that breast size determines whether or not one gets cancer.
Finally, another myth that is associated with this disease is that it only affects older people. This is not so. Although the chance of getting breast cancer increases with age, women as young as 18 have been diagnosed with the disease.
