Gemma's speed sickness

When I arrived home from work today, Gemma was playing and having a good time. She and Christine had been out shopping earlier, nothing seemed out of the ordinary. Around twenty to five I asked her what she would like for dinner, she said "No thank you daddy". At this point she was sitting on Christine's lap, leaning on her. She seemed quiet but nothing strange. 5 o'clock. She all of a sudden vomits up everything in her stomach. That would be why she doesn't want dinner. We clean her up and redress her. While she's cuddled with Christine to feel better, she falls asleep. A half hour later she woke and said, "What's for dinner daddy, I'm hungry". Well we started her slow, but she got her colour back quickly and she basically refilled her stomach, then got down from the table and started playing and running around. It was like it never happened. Kids heal quick.
