ER is a great show, but not a great place to visit
Well, I lasted 18 months without a trip to the emergency room, but sadly enough, I did have to take a trip there on Saturday December 20, 2008. My belly was hurting me really badly that day, enough to make me throw up repeatedly for over 12 hours. I threw up so much, that my mommy and daddy told me that a special doctor needed to see me to make me feel all better. They told me that this doctor was at the hospital and that he would give me special 'juice' to put all the liquid back in my belly that I got rid of. All I know, is that I was really really sad that day and I even threw up the inside of my belly. I was soooo tired and sooo unhappy that I just didnt want to do anything but be in my mommy and daddy's arms that day. We had to wait a realllllllllly long time to see that special doctor on Saturday, but when we finally did, my mommy and daddy were right. I started to feel much better. While we were waiting, I threw up a bunch more times, but then I got that 'juice' and started to feel better. That juice was so special, I couldnt drink it right away, they had to put it in a tube in my hand. Now, I gotta tell ya, I hated that it was in my hand, and I tried to pull it out a bunch of times, but at least it was doing what it was supposed to do. I did get to wear a cool little gown while I was there and watch Thomas, Elmo and Sesame Street movies while I was waiting for the 'juice'to work, which was pretty cool. Once I spent a few hours there with the juice in my hand, the special doctor told my mommy that she had to feed me the juice in my mouth every ten minutes for 2 hrs. Now, I was so tired, I fell asleep, but mommy and daddy took turns feeding me the juice while I was sleeping. I think I was a really good boy because I didnt throw up any more after that. The nice doctor finally told us that we could go home to my cribby and I could sleep there all night if I wanted to since I was such a good boy. So, we left that hospital (finally) and I went home to sleep (after having more juice in the car and at home) in my cribby. I slept the whole night!!!! No more germies!! Hooray. In the morning, when I woke up, i was STARVING and THIRSTY. I even pooped and peed over night which my mommy was really excited about. I had to have a lot more of that special juice (aka Pedialyte) throughout the day and I got to eat some crackers and pretzels after my afternoon nap. I think I was starting to feel a little better. (the story goes on....)
