Sick girl update

Since our girls slept in the car on the way home yesterday, we let them stay up an hour past their normal bedtime, until we said we weren't opening any more toys--play with what we've already unboxed!

True to what I told Marcia, sick girl Allie slept through the night, until 5:30 this morning when she called me. She asked for water and sipped a little, then she threw up violently three times over the next hour and a half.

We had thought she was getting better since she made it through the whole day yesterday without tossing her cookies, but no such luck. And she still had a fever.

Mid-morning, I took her to the doctor because this is either the third or fourth day of this crap. We like Dr. Tom, but there was nothing he could do except look at her and charge us $120 for 6 minutes. Oh, well, we know now it's not appendicitis or something.

By the time we got home, Allie was asking if she could try to eat. She and Julia are both napping right now and so far, Allie's kept down the cereal she had for lunch.

Julia's days, however, of hogging all the new toys are probably limited. Allie's been lying languidly on a couch for a long time, and now the sharing (I mean fighting) will soon commence!
