Friday-Today started out great. Cody had his math tutor and met with the social studies teacher for a little while. We were all scheduled for physical therapy at 5. We left early to run to Best Buy and to the AT and T store. Once in the AT and T store, Cody felt nauseous and asked to go to the car. Well, we did not make it home when he vomited. Once home the vomited continued with diarrhea. He went down quick. I was on the phone after the first episode since this has not happened in a long time. He was fine all day and he ate lunch with some pasta later. Within in an hour, he was lifeless and I was scared. His dad came over to check on him and at that point, I knew we needed to come in. Cody had to be carried to the car and was so upset. My ex drove us along with his wife (Oh joy) and I took care of Cody in the back. Thank goodness for bedpans and buckets. We managed to get here and he is getting fluids as we speak. He has perked up after just one bolus of fluids. It is amazing. I am hoping this is a short stay. I did make arrangements for a hockey game for tomorrow that we had to forgo but there are more. My guess is he picked up some virus. No, I am not a doctor but it just came on so quick and after a pretty good day. So we are here tonight and let's hope for a discharge home in a day or so. Thanks for reading.
