The sadest Halloween a kid could have

We had an interesting thing happen this Halloween. Shelby had been sick the whole week and I kept telling her that if she didn't get better then she couldn't go Trick or Treating. Well, She never got better and it really started to worry me. I got home from work on Thursday and decided to take her to the doctor. I called at 2pm and they said they could get us in at 3pm. Shelby was still at Grandma's house so I called over there to say I was on my way. I found out that she needed new clothes because she had thrown up (again!) and so I loaded up all my stuff and took off.
Shelby's doctor is in Idaho Falls so I knew I would be cutting it close. We did get there in time and as the doctor started looking at her he told me that there could be a few things wrong with her. One, She could have Strep Throat, or two, she could have a urinary tract infection. They did those tests and they both came back negative. The doctor said she was obviously dehydrated and he wanted to give her fluids and take some blood to see if there was anything seriously wrong with her.
So, off to the hospital. Shelby got to spend the night at EIRMC. She had to have lots of fluids and have an x-ray taken and of course her blood taken. I was exhausted by the time it was all done. Luckily, Jordan was able to take Friday (Halloween) off and he stayed the night with her. Here are some pictures of her hospital stay.
This picture was taken on my phone. I didn't think it was too bad considering. This is just a few hours after they put in her IV. Look how huge it is!

Shelby and Jordan at IHOP after we were released from the hospital. It's amazing what fluids will do to a kid who was really dehydrated! The doctor concluded that She had Rota virus which kids get vaccinated for but they still get sometimes. It last for 5-7 days and tomorrow will be the 7th day. I hope this stops soon. She's not dehydrated anymore but it's hard to get her to drink and she still throws up.
Doctor's orders were that Shelby could not go Trick or treating. He said she should stay in the house and pass out candy (but not get too close to kids). So here she is at Grandma's house looking for the kids. Why haven't they come yet? My favorite is the little blond hair sticking out the back of the hat.
Here is my little flower. She is sitting on Grandma's stairs waiting for those trick or treaters.
