Update

Well, last week was nothing like I would have ever expected. I had been sick since Tues. morning at 5:30 and by the time I woke up Thurs. morning, around 6:30, still throwing up and the poops, we decided it was time to go to the hospital. We checked in around 6:30 am and they started me on an I.V. I must have been more dehydrated than I thought bc I was admitted. I was not released until Sat. around 2. I had to spend the night two nights and went through 9 I.V. bags. I couldn't leave until I was able to keep the food in without having it go right through me. I was on a liquid diet for two days, it sucked, and was getting medicine for nausea. I was so happy to get out, but we ended up back in the ER two hrs. later because now Parker has it. He kept having terrible poops and his temp. was at 102.5. He had to pee in a baggie so we could see if he was dehydrated. He tested at 1+ and the doctor said that when he gets to 2+ or 3+, they put an I.V. in. I really didn't want to see my baby with an I.V., but I knew we had to do what needed to be done so he didn't get as bad as I did. I was so happy when they let us leave, but if he doesn't drink his pedialite, we are going to end up back at the ER. He still has an appetite, but we are having a hard time getting him to drink fluids. The doctor said not to give him formula for 48 hrs. bc it might be too hard on his tummy. He still seems to be a happy boy, but his bottom looks so painful. I feel so bad for him. I wish I could be sick all over again so that he wouldn't have to be. I've decided not to go to school tomorrow so that I can stay with him to make sure he is getting better. Whatever you do, don't come to the Loomis house, we are on quarantine.
