Well, we just thought we were finished with the awful stomach virus of 2012! Thomas could not seem to shake this awful virus and he became dehydrated and we ended up taking him to the hospital Thursday night around 8:00 p.m. He had to get an IV and have fluids. We stayed in the hospital until around 5:00 p.m. Friday afternoon and we got to come home!
Here is the sweet little patient....getting his fluids. He was super good in the hospital and he got lots of suprises! Kristi, my boss brought him over a little basket filled with all kinds of goodies. Tori brought him surprises too and Campbell sent him her Leapster with a little note on if for him to use it while he was in the hospital, but be sure to give it back when he got home...HA!!
Oh well! It is the thought that counts!!
We were so glad Tori came and spent the day with us. Bon Jean also came and I got to go home and shower and change clothes and when I got back to the hospital, Steve went home to shower and change. Boy, we were some tired folks!! Steve and I had been up all night and a few nights before that!
Here is the little patient enjoying a red popsicle that one of the sweet little pink ladies brought him! He loved it!
What a loooooong night AND day. I think time stops in a hospital! Here we are just hanging out waiting for Thomas to get finished with the last bag of fluid they wanted him to have before going home.
Going HOME!!! But unfortunately not for long!! We got home and Dan-Dan and Pop brought us supper, we ate and went to bed around 7:30. We were exhausted!! Steve got a call out around 10:00 that night to go to a wreck and then around 11:00 Thomas threw up again! He just threw up once and went back to sleep...but when he got up Saturday morning he had messed up his clothes...he had diarrhea, bless his sweet little heart!! But he had a great day Saturday...he played all day. The weather was soooo cold, so we just stayed in and he played. I felt awful, so I stayed in bed pretty much all day. Then around 7:30 or 8:00 Thomas started throwing up again and he did it all night about every 30 minutes or so!!
