To the Emergency Room
Jan 1st, 2007 by Brian A. Thomas
I wrote earlier how we all had some stomach flu. Well about 10 PM last night I took Ari to the emergency room. He had slept all day, wouldn’t drink anything and his diarrhea was pure water, not to mention a fever of 103 or something like that. Amazingly we got into the room real quick, and even got an initial response real quick. I guess we got lucky and got there before the rush.
Around 5 AM they sent him up to the pediatric wing, which is where he is now. I am home to finally get some sleep as I obviously didn’t get to sleep the whole time in the emergency room and didn’t really start sleeping until after all the questions were done. With hourly checkups I didn’t sleep well during the day and finally got up around 7 AM, ordered Ari and I breakfast. Ari didn’t really eat any, and continues to not really drink anything. Combined with a few other factors, he may have to stay another night.
It isn’t the roto (sp?) virus this time, just some other virus going around.
Anyhow, I am off to get some sleep then head back to the hospital.
