My daughter is in the hospital.

My daughter Jenna is in the hospital. Jenna started to feel sick after her graduation from pre-school on Thursday night. She vomited that night and 3 more times on Friday. Every time we feed her something like a saltine she would throw it up. We let her go to bed Friday night and she slept the entire night with no vomiting. We thought the worst was over until we let her have another saltine and 3 oz of water. She vomited again so we called the on call nurse Saturday morning. The nurse suggested that we take her to a Kids hospital and not an emergency room. We went to Mendy's place an Emergency room for kids. After sticking her 3 times for an IV they got it then started he on fluids. Her glucose count was at 22. Normal is 100 to 150. After monitoring her for about 4 hours they decided to admit her for the night. Hopefully things will be better today and we will be able to take her home. Jenna does look better today but she is all hooked up to machines. They took blood this morning at about 7am to run blood work and see how she is doing. As long as the blood work comes back OK I think we will be able to come home today. I will be updating my Twitter all day on her progress.
