stomach virus

lastnight from 8-12 i was vomiting every 20 minutes or so and i emptied out my stomach contents and ended up vomiting stomach bile for 2 hours. we went to the er at 11 and didnt leave until 4ish. the doctor told me i have a virus and i most likely got it from my son who for the past three weeks had been pooping liquid 10 times a day thankfully he is done and over with it now i get to deal with this virus myself. i feel so drained and tired lastnight i had vomited so much that i barely had the strength to walk or talk. damn viruses. hopefully i will be feeling better before friday cuz i got a b-day party to go to and on sunday im flying to wisconsin for two weeks. blah

 

Taco Bell lately? haha

I had a stomach virus the other day too... it was horrible. Hope you feel better soon.

 

Oh no, I hope you feel better soon. You've been through the ringer lately healthwise haven't you? Poor thing.

 

Fluids! Lots and lots of water and pedialyte, NO FRUIT JUICE. If you get dehydrated, it'll just prolong the horrible nausea and grossness. I know right now I'm a walking picket sign against dehydration, but after being soooo sick with the flu and no stomach crap, getting dehydrated added stomach crap to it and wow, that sucked.

 

yeah all i did was drink water and had jello yesterday. im feeling a bit better today but shane i guess caught something as well. he was up several times lastnight puking or diahrea. he also had the chill i woke up thsi morning at 5 and shane was in the kitchen boiling some water cuz he was so cold and he had goosebumps all over his body. im guessing he got food poisoning or a virus cuz he had some really nasty food yesterday. man o man well atleast were getting the sickness done and over with before we go on vacation

 

I hope you feel better... You know you can always vent to me if you need too...

 

Why no fruit juice?

Hope you and your whole little family get better really soon fallenfairy.

 

Fruit juice has too much sugar in it. It will make your stomach revolt insane amounts. That's why they always push Pedialyte and stuff for dehydrated kids, because other drinks have too much sugar and your stomach can't process all of that when it's already feeling sick as it is. I learned that lesson the hard way and ended up getting to taste not just apple, but blueberry juice, too, both ways. And it's not nearly as tasty exiting. Hehe.

 

Ooh I had no idea. Sorry you had to find out for yourself.

 

Pedialyte sounds good for that..We always had gingerale an 'nilla wafers for stomach flu as kids.
Hope you are getting better.

 

yeah im doing much better today and shane is getting there as well. turns out shane has some type of stomach infection so he needs to take antibiotics. plus we mix half water or more with our juices so we shouldnt have a problem with the sugar thing. thanx all
