ick

This post is really just for documentation purposes. I find that lately I just can't remember what happened which day of which week when we're talking about symptoms with Eve.

We were going to drive to a lake in VT with a friend this afternoon. Eve was up late last night (1.5-2 hours past bedtime) because of a party, so we put her down early for nap (at noon) after a light lunch. She went right to sleep. At 1pm we woke her up and stuck her right in the car. We drove for a half hour when she started smacking her lips and gagging. She spit up a bit of the bread she ate from lunch. Then about 3 minutes later, threw up the rest. We turned around and came right home. She seems to be in pretty good spirits. It's very hot today, but she had been sleeping in an air-conditioned room and the car had the AC on. I am hoping this was just motion sickness because we woke her up from a nap that she really needed and stuck her in a car. She does not have a fever, although her trunk seemed warm to the touch. I'm not sure if her lethargy is because she's sick or because she was up late last night. We're just going to watch her and give extra cuddles. I'll also slowly start giving her water (a tsp at a time every 15 minutes or so) soon (it's been about 90 minutes since she vomited).
