Stomach Virus... BEWARE IT IS GOING AROUND!


Hello All! Thanks for the many prayers that have been said over the last few days. Brylee woke up Tuesday morning throwing up and could not keep anything down. After a few hours at the office, Dr. Barbara decided to admit my girl into the hospital. She said this was a vicious cycle and she was not taking any chances. Brylee was already beginning to dehydrate. She admitted Brylee and three other children on Tuesday for fluids and observation.
We got to the hospital a little after noon and after one attempt the IV was in and Brylee jerked her arm so two more attempts were made and the IV was in and the fluids began. She was pretty lifeless the entire hospital stay but woke up around 8pm Tuesday and drank her Pedialyte and then had some Jell-o and iced lemonade Wednesday morning. She ran a low grade fever throughout the night, but she is a real trooper. Mama and I stayed with her, I was still a little sick so I was very lucky to have Mama with us.

Dr. Barbara came in and Wednesday around noon and told us we could go home. She is on a very bland diet and lots of fluids for the next few days. We got home and she played and played it was like seeing a totally different child than the one we had watched over the last day or so. She is eating well and still drinking her fluids. She has diarrhea pretty badly now, but she thinks it is very funny and just says SHEW SHEW SHEW!

We were worried that Molly may have it, but luckily she did not get to that point and was feeling better yesterday. Brian ended up getting sick Wednesday morning and then Mama called last night and she has it too. And to top it all off Emily called last night and said her tummy was a ticking time bomb and she missed school today. So please continue to keep us in your prayers and hopefully this mess will leave us alone soon.
Back from the Hospital!
