First Trip to the ER: a rite of passage?

One thing I have learned is that you should never tempt fate with a statement or thought like "I'm so lucky that "this" never happens."  This is because as soon as the words leave your mouth fate has a way of sucker punching you square in the nose!  I had such a thought about Emma's health the other day.  Without fail, our girl spiked a stubborn fever last night and projectile vomited on her momma 2x.  After a long night and a fever of 103.4 it was time to go to the children's hospital. It seems our vomit machine has stomach bug.  We also learned that the tube in her left ear has apparently fallen out (but no ear infection).  Emma is on the mend and feeling a little better.  She totally rocked the baby hospital gown she had to wear, and of course she charmed everyone in there.
