The Stomach Bug of 2012 Continued

This post won't have any pictures, its just mostly to finish the story of this terrible virus that ravaged our home!  As I said earlier, Thomas started throwing up again on Saturday night around 7:00 or 8:00 and he did this all night!  Then about 1:00 Sunday morning I got in the car and rode up to Martha and James' because I knew that Jim and his family had been there that day and I thought they were spending the night...I just wanted to be sure because when it got daylight I was giving him a call.  I also got on the internet to see if I could find anything on there that would stop vomiting and the runs...I didn't find out how to do that but I did find out that Whitney Houston had died!  Around 2:30 or so, we had all we could take of our little man being soooo sick, so I got on the phone and called Jim (not everyone has a Dr. they can call at the wee hours of the morning...how blessed are we!!) he said he needed to go back to the hospital because with it coming out both ends he would dehydrate quickly....so that is what we did.  It was FREEZING cold, but we bundled Thomas up really good, Tori went to BonJean's and off we went back to the hospital.  When we got there , we didn't have to wait as long as we had before and Ms. Janice Eddison, the nurse that had put in Thomas's IV and did such a great job before was on call again and she did it again.  She told him that he had to have more "magic water" to get him better....they were all soooo sweet to him!  The Dr. on call that morning went ahead and admitted him to the hospital and we got into a room around daylight Sunday morning....what another long night!!  But, our baby was getting better, he wanted SunDrop and he got it and he drank a whole one!  Dr. Walker came around later that morning and he said he still thought it was just that terrible virus and he said he would continue to give him fluids that day.  Thomas continued to improve and by that night, he was much better!!!  He was eating potato skins chips that Dan-Dan and Pop had brought him and watching TV.  Steve and I had a miserable night (hospitals are not good for sleeping), but Thomas had a pretty good night.  He threw up once around 4 a.m. Monday morning, but  he didn't even know it!  He took fluids all day until around 2 p.m. and then we got to go home.  We were soooo exhausted again, but we were back home!  Then around 9:30 or 10:00 Tori started with the virus and she was sooo sick all night long....she threw up about every 30 minutes.  Around 1:00 a.m. I went to Cindy's to get some suppositories, but that didn't even slow her up!  She finally quit throwing up around 4:30 and she went to sleep.  We didn't know what to do, all we knew was that we had to get Thomas out of the house because we didn't want to take any chances of him getting it again...so Steve called his mom to see if they could come there and guess what???  She had the virus too!!  So Steve and Thomas moved in with Bon Jean at night and in the daytime Thomas went to work with Steve.  They had a ball!!  They went to Burger King every morning and got biscuits!  I stayed home with Tori Tuesday and Wednesday and totally disinfected our house!  I went back to work Thursday and Tori just insisted she had to go back to school.  But when she got there she said her teacher took one look at her and said you don't even need to be here....so she came back home.  But by Friday she was feeling much stronger and she even went to one of Adam' s games in Selma Friday night with his parents and didn't get home until 2:00 a.m. Saturday morning....so GUESS  WHAT????  Another sleepless night for this tired Mama!!  But, now all is well at the Whitehurst home and I hope and pray to God that it stays that way!!!!!
