SICK LIKE A DOG

Colton was so sick Monday! He rarely gets very sick so this sort of thing was very unusual. Most of the time he can eat or take something and just power through it but this was bad. He was throwing up constantly and couldn’t keep a single thing in him. It was basically a bad case of the NVD’s (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea). His body was in so much pain and he was feeling so sick at around 8 p.m. we decided to go to the hospital to see if we could get something to help. The ER was packed Monday night and it took us nearly 2 hours just to get in to see a nurse. They got us a room and the doctor came in and explained the situation. We knew it wasn’t food poisoning because that sort of thing goes away quickly. Apparently he had some bad stomach virus but in his case because of the severe dehydration it really took a toll on him. Sunday was fast Sunday so that probably didn’t help either. He had to get some IV’s with fluids going right into his system and some good pain medication injected in as well.

We finally left the hospital at 1 am. What a day. Soon his appetite will get back to normal and hopefully be back to the normal Colton we know.
