Some Family Day

Parts of our country get to celebrate Family Day in February.  It is a nice break between New Years and Easter, but not all employers provide the day to their staff.  Since I am only part-time, I was able to take most of the day.  :)  But it isn't as though we spent the day enjoying it doing family fun things.  We spent it running Lorelei to the doctor to see if it was an infection causing her to be sick to her stomach since Friday.  Turns out it isn't an infection, just a good ol' stomach bug that is holding on.  She was okay for the whole day on Saturday (and we had the gall to believe she beat it), but has continued to be sick and stopped eating on Sunday.  We are doing our best to keep her hydrated, but it is a bit of a challenge.  Water is about the only thing she will take and unfortunately she is returning a good bit of it.  It looks like she's lost weight and we're hoping that she soon turns the corner and feels better.

Not like there is a convenient time for her to be sick (nor do we ever want her to be), but it has been a challenge to make sure someone is with her tomorrow as Ethan heads off to the OR.  Thankfully her uncle and someone who works with Ethan can help out.  We have an early OR time, so hopefully he gets a good night's sleep.
