They had to give her fluids before they would let her leave the hospital. She fully recovered, but it was a really bad experience for her. She will always wash them from now on. They sent her home with antibiotics, and advised her to drink clear liquids the next day, as opposed to trying to eat any solid foods. She was weak and needed to stay in the bed for a couple of days. I am glad to say that she is doing to wonderful ["wonderful" is acceptable as an intensifier, but remember the word means "causing to pause in wonder (awe)"] today. It was a scary thing to have to go through.
