Flu and emergency room update...

As I mentioned in my last post, late Thursday afternoon we took Ella to the emergency room for hydration. Thursday night was a bit rough, but she's now almost completely better.

Today, two days later, Ella is doing well and no longer shows any major signs of being sick. She had no fever today and didn't vomit at all. She did sleep a lot, ate a little bit less than normal, had one loose stool and a lot of gas, but that's all for signs of sickness.

One thing that did come up in her emergency room visit was her liver enzymes were a little elevated. Nothing serious, and viruses can cause this, but it's a little rare in stomach flu type viruses. In a month we need to take her in for a liver function test, just to make sure there's not an ongoing liver problem.
