Poor baby

 Literally. Poor little Lillian has had it rough the past week. We drove to Atlanta this past Tuesday for a work training I had (more on that a little later), and somewhere between leaving Raleigh and getting to our destination, she caught a terrible stomach bug. My sis watched her for the two days I was in training, and I knew it wasn't looking good when she was basically texting me every hour telling me that her diaper was having to get changed (I'll spare the details). And then, on day two when it was still just as bad and she was not seeming herself, I knew something wasn't right. Needless to say we skipped the Peds office there and went straight to the Children's Hospital. At this point, my biggest fear was her getting dehydrated. To make a long story short, she was tested and we found out yesterday that she tested positive for Salmonella. What?!?  We have NO idea how she caught it, and it will probably remain a mystery. So from here on out, we are going to become big time GERMAPHOBES!!! The first thing I will be saying to anyone that comes near my baby is, please wash your hands :)
Unfortunately at this point, there is not a whole lot we can do. She will get tested for it again in another week and then we will go from there. Let's just say that I got my first glimpse of what it is like to have a child who is sick, and had the living crap scared out of me. I love her to pieces and am hoping for a full recovery soon.
