stomach flu

UGH. Maya vomited at 1030pm, 1130pm, midnight and 115am. She was happy in between, and stayed up watching Curious George until 3am-the same time I finished all the laundry. If I never see brown rice again, it will be too soon. She slept until 430am. She asked for milk at 515am, I hesitated, but Pedja said I should since she had nothing in her. So I caved. A few minutes later she asked for some water. I let her have a couple of sips even though she wanted more. A few minutes later she vomited again. No fever thankfully, and she had a wet diaper at 530. I called her pediatrician, and spoke to the on-call nurse. She thinks its the stomach flu, and said I need to give her 2tsp of water every 5 minutes for 4 hours. If she doesnt vomit any up, I can give her 1TB of pedia-lyte every 5 minutes for the next 4 hours. Then I can start bland solids. Its 915 right now, and I started the water at 7am. Im averaging about every 10 minutes. So far she has kept it down, and is asking for more, and is sleeping on and off on the couch still watching Curious George.
