This story is too cute not to tell. Erika got really sick recently and I took her to the doctor. I had to go after hours so we went to a clinic instead of her traditional doctor. I was told she had a colon infection and to give her plenty of liquid. Well, we went home and for two solid days, she couldn't keep any food or drink down. She was vomiting and trembling and had no energy. She only weighs 42 pounds and had lost 3 so I was concerned and decided to take her to the emergency room. She had been running a fever of 104. After eight hours in the emergency room, four attempts at getting in an IV, two bags of fluids, and many tears, we got to go home with plenty of meds! The next day, I asked her to take a bath and she started crying. When I asked her what was wrong, she said she didn't want to get her bandage wet because she wanted to be able to wear it to school and show all of her friends. Our compromise was that I'd take her pic in it and she could show her friends the pic. :)
