It’s rotavirus for Abby… prayers from all that read this, please!

It’s a VERY severe case.

I ended up taking her to Urgent care today after being at the Pediatrician on Thursday. She got sick yet again today and the Pediatrician that we saw at Urgent care says the rotavirus strain going around this spring is a nasty one. He’s had to admit several kids to the hospital due to it. 🙁

Abby is not recovering from it. It’s repeating itself every few days, leaving her lethargic, dehydrated and otherwise, not herself. She isn’t severaly dehydrated yet though as we manage to get little tiny bits in her. The Ped today suggested letting her eat ANYTHING she wants in order to counteract the dehydration. The BRAT diet just wasn’t cutting it. She wouldn’t eat ANYTHING at all … crackers and bananas are yucky now. 🙁

So, she wanted a cookie, I let her have it and up it came. I feel so bad for her. I hate this! I hate that my youngest is suffering so much. I pray that she will not get worse… we have to watch for the next few days… to prevent serious dehydration.

All she wants to do is sleep, be in my arms or cry. My heart hurts everytime it hits her again. 🙁 🙁

Please keep her in your prayers. We/I *really* need her to heal.. going to the hospital is just an idea I don’t want to consider. And that is the next step if this doesn’t resolve.
