This is the fifth time this has happened in the last year.....I wish I could trace it to something in particular, but it seems to come on like a stealth bomber. Other than I know when it started-- it was after daughter got really sick on vacation and I think had heat stroke .... Five times since then, I go to pick up my daughter from practice... I can see she just looks tired. Instead of her usual happy skippy self, she looks tired and pale, slumpy.... She comes out, gets dressed. Starts crying on the way to the car that she has a heachache. I try to get her to drink and snack, then boom either in the car or in the house she vomits uncontrollably, usually about four times. It really scares me because then she just wants to sleep and will only take a few tiny sips of water. The next day, she wakes up wants her waffles and a drink and seems just fine. I know the obvious answers, make sure she is getting enough sleep and eating right. But I'm just curious if anyone else has experienced this. Every time it happens I tell myself it's the last time, and I will help her be even more cognizent about her fluids, food, sleep etc., and then it sneaks up on us again..... Ideas? Any specific nutritional or other advice from someone who has seen this too?
