A visit to the ER

Last night, I began a round of the "yuckies" around 7pm and this continued practically non-stop until I left the bathroom and headed to the ER around 1:30am. Dx=Gastroenteritis. I had it twice in 2008 when I was pregnant with Taylor and once the year before that. I hope this isn't going to be a yearly thing! It came out of NO WHERE! It's really scary just how quickly I get dehydrated. My mom was told from the time I was little that any time I began throwing up like that, to head in to the ER right away. I suppose all of you have been told the same thing. Sometimes I forget that I'm not built like everyone else and am more susceptible to some things than "non HD" people. I don't really think about that until I'm already very sick.

I got a few rounds of phenergan, toridol, morphine, and of course....IV fluids. I was sent home with Zofran & Bentyl. My tummy still hurts as does my back where my kidneys are located. I've had some drinks and kept them down, so I'm hopeful that will continue, but I'm still in the "icky" phase right now.
