I am not a parent, but if she's hydrated, that seems like the major concern. Will she take something with some nutritional value, like chicken broth? Some of those Pedialite/Pediasure drink things?

Trust my rage
Dana, I agree. She drank some milk and ate some ham after some cajoling. I think she's plenty hydrated but sort of weak from not eating for 4 days (her face actually looks pointed) but I think it's partly mental. I don't know...maybe it's like pilling a cat-I just need to figure out the right food.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I know I have felt like that after stomach viruses -- knowing I needed to eat, but not actually being interested in food.
Applesauce? Pudding? Popsicle?

Stephanie, I would take her in if her stomach still hurts. It could be something more serious that requires antibiotics.

That is worrying, Stephanie, if only because seeing your child in misery is worrying. If she's keeping down milk and ham it seems like she'd keep down anything. I'd try feeding her anything she'll eat, even if it's pudding or ice cream. You can shift her to food with some nutritional value later.

Because books.
As long as she's hydrated, she should be okay, Stephanie. Tempt her with whatever you think she might tolerate and also enjoy -- applesauce like Dana said or ice cream. Otherwise just keep an eye on her, and make sure she's drinking *and* peeing.

Congratulations Biyi!
I would love to get to that point with Spanish.

Oh yeah, congrats Biyi! That's impressive.
