Sick little boy...

Above: not feeling so well...
Below: after fluids, he's back to his old self.


My little guy was extremely sick over the Memorial Day holiday weekend. Gannon had never thrown-up or had diarrhea before this weekend. My little dude would get sick and then feel better and then get sick and then feel better - this cycle lasted all day Saturday and Sunday. It was Monday that we realized he wasn't getting better at all. Every time he stood, he told us that he felt dizzy. We knew his illness was serious because this kid is tough and never complains. And the last place he would ever want to go is to see the doctor, so when we told him we were taking him to the hospital and he didn't oppose...we were even more worried.
Once we got him to the hospital, they ran tests. Based on the tests - they decided to admit him! I couldn't believe it. My baby was in the hospital (for dehydration). Once he received fluids, he felt 100%. It turns out that he simply had a stomach flu.
Thank you all for your prayers and well wishes. This was a tough time for us.
We ARE SO blessed that are children are healthy.
