Vomiting!
Yesterday morning we met my parents on the city-bound train and had morning tea with mum in David Jones.
Louka fell asleep when we got home and slept for a couple of hours, but when she woke up she vomited. She was never a vomity baby, but at first I didn't worry. But she kept vomiting every half-hour or so, so after dinner we decided to take her to Westmead Children's Hospital. Unfortunately the GPS led us to the hospital's delivery entrance so we got a bit frustrated driving round looking for Emergency.
Eventually we found it, and the triage nurse checked Louka out thoroughly. She had no fever, and she weighed 12.65 kg (she's still losing weight!). They prescribed 6ml of hydralyte every 5 minutes. Louka loved it. After more than 1½ hours she hadn't vomited so we got an information sheet from the nurse and took her home. She fell asleep just before we got home, and hasn't vomited since.
