ER Visit

Gunner got the stomach flu really bad this summer. He progressively got worse througout the day and by 4pm he would take a lick of popsicle and it would come right back up. I decided to call the Dr. and made an appt for 6pm. The next two hours he went from bad to worse. He was so out of it and lethargic. The dr. tried to get a pedialyte popsicle in him and it kept coming right back up, but he was doing it half asleep. I think it was one of the sickest I have seen any of my kids. After about 20 minutes they sent us up to the ER for an IV.

He fell asleep in the waiting room, then woke up for a few minutes when we got to the room enough to answer the Dr's few questions.
Then went in and out until the nurse cam in to do his IV. I kept trying to distract him, but he watched the whole thing. That tells you how out of it he was. His eyes were so sunken.
Then we spent a couple of hours there while they pumped fluids back into him.


He was pretty weak for a few days but never threw up again.
