A few months ago (on Easter morning), Ellie woke up "not herself". She was lathargic, limp, quiet and fell back asleep as soon as I picked her up and tried sitting down on the couch with her. She did the same thing one day this week and thank goodness we had our previous experience to draw from. She woke up, was totally limp and I put her on the couch with me where she fell in and out of sleep for more than an hour while I listened to her breathing and felt her heart rate.
Mid morning she moved around a little, drank an entire cup of water, proceeded to throw it up (which happened last time so I had a bowl ready and it all landed nicely, no splatter) and fall back out until about 11:00. But just like Easter, that's when she all of the sudden perked up and went to her chair and ate a whole bowl of oatmeal which she kept down.
When she doesn't feel well she just gives in easily to the need to sleep? She doesn't have much reserve to pull from? Not sure why she does this but since it ended before lunch time most days we'll call it a "few hour bug" instead of even 24 hours!
