Towards the end of winter, our house was hit by the flu. BAD. Thankfully for me, I was the only one who did not end up with a nasty bug. Morgan started out with it, Rylee ended up with it a few days later, and a few days after that Tenley ended up with it. It was basically miserable, especially since I am no fan of the throw-up. Shortly after Tenley got over her bout and a day after Paul got over his, Morgan didn't feel good again. I stayed home with her thinking she was just having a slight relapse since she was run down. She basically slept all day, wouldn't eat and every time she had a sip of water she would throw it up. By the time the afternoon rolled around I was getting a little worried about dehydration and called the nurse to get an idea of what else I could be doing. She suggested we head to Akron Childrens to get checked out and to get some fluids in Morgan.

Once we got there they checked her out and got her IV started. She was most definitely dehydrated and all we could do was see how she would react. For about ten minutes she perked up and I thought the fluids had really helped her. It didn't last long though and she was back to being pretty lethargic. By about 11:30 that night they made the decision to admit her to a room upstairs. Poor thing didn't really eat or bounce back in any way until about 48 hours later when she was finally discharged.
Here she is after she was told she could finally go home. She wasn't a huge fan of the hospital as you can tell. That is an experience I hope we do not have to repeat any time soon.
