Our trip to the ER


Max has had the stomach flu since Thursday, and things got bad enough yesterday that the doctor recommended we take him to the ER to get checked out.

Around 3:30, I left work and came home to pick up Max and Bobbie Jo. He'd had been having trouble with everything we tried to feed him and had visibly lost weight. He was quite dehydrated.

They gave him quite a bit of IV fluid, and 5 hours later we were on our way. I'm pleased to report that he's doing much better and enjoying his sleep and his formula.

It's definitely been rough, his first major sickness. We're hoping it's a long time before the next one.
