The Flu

Poor Andy has been sick all week with a stomach flu - he was just not keeping food or drink down very well, but he was his normal sweet self all week, just with less energy. On Friday morning, I took Andy to the emergency room at Children's -- he was not able to keep even clear fluids down. He was moderatly dehydrated, so they gave him an IV of saline, and added two doses of sugar water and some anti-nausea medication. After 4 hours, he was hydrated and even interested in small sips of gatorade, and we were able to come back home. It's Saturday now and he's doing much better - eating and drinking in small amounts through the morning, and playing with his toys and Herbie. He's still generally pretty grumpy and probably still feels pretty bad, but overall he seems to be doing so much better.
