This is Alyssa today!!!
This is Alyssa 2 days ago.
Alyssa got a nasty stomach bug and couldn't even keep a tablespoon of water down for over 48 hours. She also had a fever from a double ear infection. I took her to the doctor and they sent her to the hospital - she was dehydrated. She had to stay overnight in the hospital but is feeling great now. Thank goodness for zofran that made it so she could start to drink on her own and thank goodness for IVs to blast her system with fluids!
The hospital was so good to her - dvds, popsicles, slices of bread (what her request from the cafeteria was once she was doing better). They were also good to us, 2 food vouchers so we didn't have to leave Alyssa to eat, a bed for Kevin to sleep in and his own TV.
Alyssa had to wear the thing on her arm to make it so that the IV didn't get pulled out. Once she started feeling better she decorated it with stickers!
Later Friday night when she was beginning to feel better, she loved getting to raise and lower or bed and then even gave me a big smile which was a huge improvement from the previous 2 days.

Thank you for the pictures and more of an update! Poor girl to have to be in the hospital! She looks so much better now!
So glad you are feeling better, Alyssa! What an exciting night you had at your hospital adventure!
I'm so glad she is home and happy! That is such a hard and scary thing to go through. Alyssa is always such a vibrant active girl, I'm so relieved for you all that she is well and happy.
I'm glad she is feeling better! We went through that with Jase about 3 years ago - it is always scary when they aren't feeling well, especially with dehydration.
