Sweet Potatoes

Last night Anika had level 2 sweet potatoes and chicken dinner. (The last time she had sweet potatoes with level 1 she got a rash on her face). She ate almost the entire jar and seemed to be doing fine. About an hour and a half later she was getting fussy, so we decided to get her ready for bed. We gave her a bath, read her story and she started drinking her bottle. Next we know, she starts throwing up all over herself, me, the couch and the floor. Matt runs to get some towels to clean up and clean pj's for Anika. We get everything all cleaned up and I head upstairs and change. I bring all of the soaked clothes and towels downstairs and put them in the washers. I come back up stairs and Matt is feeding her the bottle again. Next thing we know, she is throwing up again all over Matt and a little on herself. A little while later she threw up a little bit more so after talking to my mom I called the on-call nurse. The nurse said to not give her anything to drink for at least an hour and after that give her only clear iquids. By morning I could go back to her normal routine. Anika ended up falling asleep on me and slept through the night. She seems a whole lot better now and ate her bottle this morning. I don't think she is going to have any sweet potatoes for a while. I felt so bad for her, I don't like to see her sick or not feeling well.
