The littlest one in my family is a unique one. Definitely unique..
You know that superbug? the freakish kill you off stomach bug everyone and their aunty seems to be getting? Went through my house! ew!
Stinker though… He’s ALREADY got issues… the other just kinda puked and were better.. I ah… was a paranoid emotional freakish mess for a week :) (I hate puking, you can do it… but if it’s caused by a virus I could catch, staytheHELLawayfromme!)
He started the puking in the middle of the night Thursday. I dun freak when he pukes.. cause he’s… him. He couldn’t keep anything (including water) down, and was tooottally gone otherwise… Sleeping and puking for two days… You’d try to talk to him and his eyes would just roll back in his head, the house was very quiet… it was VERY weird.
Sunday he crawled into my moms room all happy and perky “HAI!”
We went for Cracker Barrel for breakfast. he ate half an egg and half a piece of toast, and drank some soda. Then descided he didn’t want anything else.
We spent most of the day in the shops and stuff… All of us got new sneakers… a new boardgame (Rummikub) and a puzzle. He kept complaining that he was tired and sick of walking, We just assumed it was the fact that he’d been so busy fighting the virus that he was gonna be east to tire out for a day or two. that’s okay.
The little Girl and I went to a friends house for a superbowl party… really just an excuse to eat chips and soda… XD
My friend babysits her friend all the time… so it works out ^^
Got home and found nobody home but the other sister.. She said Mom and the boys were in the ER, Stinker puked up the breakfast he ate 8 hours ago, looking just like when he ate it. A bit worrisome.
The ER gave him IV Fluids to keep him hydrated, he went to his doctor on Monday, the doctor said to call his GI doctor,
Went to the ER again Monday night for the same treatment. Where he puked up grass-green bile (yum) Got very sick of ‘band-aiding’ him everynight and Headed to the hospital his GI is at on Tuesday. got him BACK on IV Fluids there. Gave him Zofram (I think) to keep his stomach calm, and umped him full of Easy-Cat. (Via G-tube, cause he wasn’t drinking it XD)
He got his catscan to make sure there wasn’t something really wrong, figured out, this whole mess, was caused by
LYMPH NODES. those silly annoying things that swell under your jaw when you’ve got a particularly stubborn cold? they’re sore and tender and make swallowing hell? I learned that you’ve got a LOT of them in your belly too. And his were all swollen and angry. So that’s why it hurt him so much to eat and digest and all such things.
the hospital decided to keep him utnil tonight, On the IV Fluids and all to keep him hydrated and hopfully so that they would calm down enough for him to drink water and eat melty stuff. He can… he’s home. He can’t really EAT… but he’s pretty alright.
We’ll know in 3 to 5 days if they’re calming down at all…
but he’s home now and all is good..
I think everyone is mostly healthy.. I think I totally screwed my metabolism up over the weekend/week. and it’s taking some coaxing to make it work again but that’s okay it’ll be back.
