An Update

Thanks to all of you who expressed your concern for Tyler's health. Fortunately we avoided a hospital stay. As a last resort, our pediatrician gave him a medication to help him keep things down that worked. Little by little, he is getting back to normal.

My husband and younger child are also gradually returning to normal. The virus lasted 72 hours or more in all of them. Usually these things last only 24 hours. Somehow, so far, I have escaped the carnage in our home. Someone needed to care for everyone!

The thought of Tyler eating hospital food terrified me. Thankfully we did not cross that bridge. I would, however, like to prepare a post on this subject for others. If your PA kid has been hospitalized, I would love to hear through the comments or email how you and your doctor handled this situation. Thanks for your help! We all need to be armed with this information so a hospital stay does not have to be quite so scary.

I am glad Tyler is on the mend.

It's getting a bit late here, so hopefully I am still making sense! We have been thru the stomach virus/hospitalization thing with our PA son. They put a special extra bracelet on him indicating that he has a peanut allergy. I stayed with him the whole time. Since he was in for a tummy thing, he did not eat till the end of his stay. BUT...when they brought his first meal, they brought SOMEONE ELSE'S breakfast. I was there to catch the mistake, I had them check to make sure it was safe for him, and it all worked out OK, thank goodness! It was disturbing that the mistake was made, but not surprising. I am so cynical generally, I have come to expect this sort of sloppiness and carelessness! My advice...stay with your child! Don't trust anyone!
