Dull Moment, Never A, Much

madrobinsSarcasm Girl left for Chicago yesterday for a whirlwind tour of a college there. She's staying with one of her dearest friends, and all would be well...except the kid is sick. Sick enough so that when she called this evening, nauseated, shaking, exhausted and anxious, I called the pediatricians and they counseled that she should go to the ER. So SG's friend's roomie is taking her to the ER (friend is in class, and will meet them there).
I suspect that it's viral, that they'll look her over and say "Hey, kid, go home and sleep it off. Take an aspirin. That'll be 8 billion dollars, please." But just in case, because she's 2000 miles from home, let's let the pros take a look at her.
Here, I'm sewing Avocado's Alice dress and waiting for a pizza to arrive, because somehow cooking was too much tonight.
ETA: the doctor's chief concern was that the kid was dehydrated (hadn't been drinking cause her throat hurt). The threat of IV fluids for my needle-phobic child was enough to get her to take a motrin and promise to drink until it hurts. She does not appear to be otherwise in danger of her life. And I'm really glad about that.
