A Sick PA Kid...

The blog will be on another short break. Tyler is very sick with a stomach virus and is on the verge of being hospitalized. Fortunately he has a wonderful doctor that is keeping very close tabs on him. The thought of hospital food takes on a whole new dimension when you think about it when you are managing a peanut allergy. Hopefully, that will not be an issue for us. I will keep you posted on his health. (My husband and younger child have it, too!) I would appreciate your prayers!

**If you have e-mailed me in the last couple of weeks, I promise I will get back to you. I haven't been returning any email over the last few weeks since I have been so busy. Hopefully I'll get back into my normal routine soon!!**

Hi, just wanted to offer hugs and hope that Tyler is better. I heard there is a horrible stomach thing going around near us too. My multiple food allergy child was hospitalized once and we had to bring food in, as I think bananas was the only thing that was safe. It is amazing how hospitals are not even safe food wise. It is that in dealing with life-threatening food allergies which most people don't see the struggles. Best wishes and hope all members of your family are well soon. Love your blog!

I'm so sorry Tyler is sick, and I hope he feels better soon. Hopefully he won't need to be hospitalized, but if he does, be sure to check out this post from last summer at Speedbump Kitchen:

I don't want to scare you, but hate to think of him at the mercy of the hospital food service!

I hope that Tyler improves and can avoid the hospitalization! It sounds like a stressful time for you and your family. I hope that you are all on the road to recovery soon!! My son is 10 and has Peanut/Tree Nut allergies and he has never been hospitalized. Your post gives me something to think about. That is something we all need to consider having a back up plan for.

I am so sorry to hear that your family has this awful stomach virus. Hope Tyler was able to keep hydrated and avoid the hospital.

We're in the middle at the stomach virus with one child right now but maybe are over the hump, I hope. I thinking good thoughts for you and your family.

Speedy recovery
