We arrived home on the 30th March. And slept like logs the first nite in our own beds. The next nite at around mignight Katie started throwing up and got really sick. By morning she wasn't keeping anything down and at lunch time we realised we would probably be bringing her in to be checked but for the next few hours she began playing and looked like she was getting better. A few hours later was a totally different story by this time she was totally dehydrated and wasn't responding anymore just sleeping and waking up to be sick. In the ER they put her on IV and told us to be ready to stay the night. They put us in a private room and we ended up staying for two nites.

Still feeling quite sick and very tired
slowly getting better reading stories again.
Yah the cricket bat is off my hand.. freedom again!! it was hard to keep a 2.5 year old still and quiet in the hospital. By Friday afternoon we had all had enough and just wanted to go home. We could see our place from Katie's room we were so close to being home again. We were released from hospital with strict orders to return if things went bad again. Once Katie started drinking again and eating she never looked back. That weekend she was still really tired and often I would find her sleeping watching her dvds. The pediatrician said this is normal after such an experience and expected her to be that tired still for two weeks. As the days went on Katie kept improving and by the next week we had our little girl back again. She was laughing and singing and playing again too. We are so thankful this happened to Katie when we were back in Canada and not while we were in Sydney or on the long flight between Aus and Canada. God has us in His care and we saw that especially during Katie's dehydration. All thanks be to God!!
