Update

I guess you could say it's all gone downhill since my last post. My poor little Reagan has been through the ringer. After playing in the snow, she seemed just fine. She did tell me that her tummy hurt and I proceeded to lecture her about how she was probably just hungry and she needed to be better about eating and how I was worried about how little she eats each day, blah, blah, blah. We bathed her, then put her to bed that night (Saturday, Jan 3rd) and about 30 minutes later, we heard her crying. John ran downstairs, since it's VERY unusual for Reagan to wake up once she's gone to sleep.

When he carried Reagan upstairs, I stood frozen, taking in the sight of my now messy little girl ... she was covered in throw-up and she was crying hysterically. I wasn't sure where to begin because it was just so messy. We finally got her in the bathtub again and got all the sheets changed ... of course, as soon as we put her back in bed, it happened all over again. She ended up taking 3 baths that night and threw up 4 times before I finally went to sleep at 2 AM. By 9:00 on Sunday morning, John said she had thrown-up another 4 or 5 times and she'd hardly slept. She slept most of Sunday and we had to keep her downstairs when my sisters and their kids came over that night for dinner ~ what a bummer that she couldn't play with her cousins!

By Monday, I was nauseous and feeling lousy in general. My sisters were planning on coming over that night, but I had to cancel because I felt so miserable. By Tuesday afternoon, Reagan was acting rather normal. We were so relieved because we were scheduled to fly home on Wednesday. My parents took us all to Asian Star for dinner to celebrate John's recent birthday and Reagan seemed to be feeling normal. She even ate some rice at dinner, a big step for her, since she'd hardly eaten a morsel of anything for almost 3 days.

On Wednesday morning, Reagan was back to her lethargic, whiny, sick-self. We were getting really nervous about flying with her. I decided to call Delta to see what our options were. To my surprise, they were very accommodating and allowed us to postpone our departure. It's a good thing, because the vomiting started again that afternoon ... she threw-up 4 more times, all within the time frame that we would have been 30,000 feet in the air, enclosed in a tight space with strangers surrounding us! I was so relieved we weren't on that plane!!!

So now it's Thursday and she seems to be doing much better. I'm still suffering with stomach pains and now a nasty head cold, but at least Reagan should be okay tomorrow on the flight home. We leave Salt Lake tomorrow evening and we'll be in Newark late. Here's hoping that all goes smoothly and that Avery remains healthy between now and then!
