Hello, Our daughter Angela decided to put a kink in
our travel plans by coming into the hospital to spend the night. That's one way
of avoiding the dreaded car seat! We came down to the ED yesterday as she had
not eaten in 30 hours and was very lethargic, and had been throwing up bile.
We've had her on an IV rehydrating but she's still sleeping a lot & has only
eaten 2 oz of Pedialyte. It's still early morning so we'll see what the day
brings. Please pray for her and for us. We were supposed to be leaving today on
our vacation to see my husband's family (we only see them once a year on this
weekend in Ohio) & then heading down to the SOFT conference. Our other kids will
be very disappointed if we don't make it to the Farm in Ohio, and of course
everyone is worried. This is actually only our 2nd trip ever to the hospital
with Angela, first time overnight.

Siblings: Karina (5) and Dylan (3) Ricker
Born: October 8, 2004
Where: At home in Orford, New Hampshire, U.S.A.

Angela is doing well. She has recently learned to crawl and is pulling
herself up to a standing position on all kinds of stuff inside the house and
out.
The following two urls will provide more info and photos (even a video of
her first time crawling). She is even better at crawling now. Yikes, we
need to child-proof the house again!
Angela has an additional new sibling! A sister. Erin. 6 months old. And
Karina is now 7 and Dylan 5. But the parents. We're the same age as always.
