5:00am: 3-year old daughter crying for me telling me her tummy hurts. She says she has to go #2, but as I help her on the toilet, she begins crying hysterically and says she doesn't need to go anymore. She points to the lower right quadrant of her tummy area to tell us where it hurts the most. She is able to fall back asleep.
7:00am: Both kids wake up and 3-year old daughter is crying in pain that her tummy hurts and she needs to go #2 but freaks out when she tries to go again. I call the on-call nurse for her pediatrician. The nurse asks if it hurts when we apply pressure to the area. Yes. The nurse asks for her to stand up and hop like a bunny. But when she goes to sit up, her tummy hurts. She tells us we should take her to the ER.

Poor baby, what a weekend! So glad she is on the mend.
Wishing her a speedy recovery. Sounds like you lucked out and got a pretty smart nurse on the other end of that phone.
Poor darling!!!
