Sadie has been sick

Sadie got sick while on our trip to Idaho. After about a week of her throwing up, diarrhea, horrible stomach pains, loss of appetite and dehydration which led to fluid IV's twice we finally found out that what she had was a bacteria called Camplobactor. It is found in Unpasteurized milk, contaminated water, undercooked chicken, and carried by animals. Well, being that she was on the farm with the animals and she probably did have unpasteurized milk, she was a likely candidate for it I guess. I was reading on the internet about it and it doesn't always cause such a reaction but Sadie reacted very severely to it. Braden probably had it as well since he had the diarrhea but his immune system handled it much better. Sadie must take after her dad who gets sick from everything! Sadie got a coloring book about being in the hospital when she went to the hospital the last time and it came with the cute "hero" hat that you see in this picture. She is doing much better now. The antibiotics she got made all the difference!
