So, the inevitable happened. Our Special Needs daughter got sick. She actually threw up. She has never done that since she was 1 and she's now 4 years old. She is on the Ketogenic Diet, a special diet to help control seizures, so trying to get her better was harder than the other kids. If we hold off on her feeds, she may loose the effectiveness of her diet and start having seizures, plus there aren't a lot of medicines we could give her to get her by.
We finally came up with a solution (the doctors were no help). We found a PowerAide that has very few carbs which we could give her, and we found a doctor who told us that Zofran is okay to give her as well. We got her through it. The first night we were debating whether or not to take her to the ER, but decided to sleep in her room close to her. We took turns sleeping on an air mattress, and didn't sleep well during it. (My back still hurts). She is doing better today and even went to school.
