what a scare!

What started out as a normal day- soon turned to quite the scary night. We had gone to my parents house for lunch and all was well. We had a good time and although vaughn was acting a little more tired than normal- she was in good spirits. We got home and took a nap. VE took an unusually long nap for herself, but woke up smiling and cheery.
As we were all sitting in bed, hanging out- vaughn quickly went downhill fast.
she started throwing up violently, covering half of the bed and myself. she was gagging and choking and couldnt get air. I stepped out o the room once she was ok to get her new clothes and a towel and it happened again. nearly twenty times in the next three hours. After a while, it was just snot and flem, then just bile. She has had a really stuffy nose and I figured, at first, that she was just gagging on the snot since she had been laying flat for so long. We tried giving her very very watered down bottle but as she was swallowing it- it was coming right back up.
She started acting really sleepy and soon was unresponsive. She wouldnt wake up, she would be gagging and choking and pass out in my hand or the towel that was full of snot and throw up. I called my mom to make sure that i wasnt overreacting and that i shold in fact take her in- i wasnt sure if this is normal when kids are very stuffed up. ( deep down, i knew it wasnt normal-i was just too scared to think something was really wrong with her. ) So, I called mercy nurse to see if i should give her some pedialite and to see where the walk in clinics are. She sugested just going straight to the ER. We left immidiately and on the way there, vaughn really faded. She wouldnt respond to me at all and was like a limp rag. She wouldnt open her eyes and had no muscle tone at all. I called 911 to see if they could tell the ER that we were on our way and to be ready for us and they told us to pull over asap and that an ambulance wuold be there. I was terrified. I hurt for her and just wanted to make her respond to me.... we were all a mess. We pulled over in the caseys lot and the ambulance was right there. Vaughn and i rode in the ambulance all the way to mercy and rudy met us there. In the ambulance, she started coming around and even was smiling- although still not her normal self. After many tests in the ER, they decided she just must have bad acid reflux and gave us a list of suggestions. Her white cells are elevated, but he said that can sometimes just happen due to stress on the body or it can be an infection (which he didnt think to be the case as she had no fever.) It was the scariest night of my life. I was so glad to finally see her looking at me and smiling and being herself agian. it was trully the scariest moment i have ever had in my entire life. She still seems sort of out of it today- but far far better than she was. As a mother, i cant imagine ever having something serious happen to my child, but last night, was a glimpse far too close for me. Inside I felt like a complete wreck, but on the outside, you just keep it together- I dont know how- you just do.

Please say some prayers for vaughn and that the doctor was correct, that this is only acid reflux and she will grow out of it. (whats up with the kinney babies having acid reflux? Ive never heard of such a thing.)
