To medicate or not to medicate

Addison went to daycare Wednesday, Thursday and Friday morning. When Tre' picked her up on Friday she had just vomitted. Her teacher said she ate some yellow watermelon and she gave her seconds and then she vomited. As soon as she came home she vomited 2 more times. We bathed her and she asked for a popscicle so I gave her one while she was playing in the bath tub. She ate 1/2 of it and before we could get her dressed she threw up again. She then asked for juice so we gave her 3 sips and it came right back out too. She was crying for mashed potatoes and chocolate milk but we were scared to give her anything. She finally cried herself to sleep and took an hour nap. She ended up vomiting 5 times in 2 hours. After her nap she was feeling a lot better and running around being silly. I called her GI, Dr. Alberty he said if she started vomiting again to bring her straight to the emergency room and to start her on the Reglan. She has an appointment with him Monday afternoon and I want to discuss with him the side effects before I start her on the Reglan. It seems she may need it because she is still vomiting so much but the side effects are horrible and who wants to put their 2 year old on something like that?
 Me and Tre' just feel so helpless and the constant worrying is so stressfull. I was feeling better the last few days. I went to Jazzercise 3 days in a row, I got my hair done, I made homemade cleaning products to save money, I planned out our dinners for the entire week and went grocery shopping. This may seem like normal things to most of you but when you are depressed you just don't have the energy to do anything so it was like running a marathon for me, especially getting all that done in 3 days.
We are still accepting donations for the upcoming yardsale on March 24 for Addison and Evan. We will need fold out tables, grocery store bags and volunteers to help with setting up, taking down and during the day. The southernbelle tshirts came in too and they are so cute. It took me 2 days to sort through all the orders.
