Bleh!

Last part first: Everyone is home and on the mend.

Saturday afternoon, the Roo started spitting up a lot, eventually producing quite spectacular fountains. (And yet, was happy as a clam.) Because of her MCAD deficiency, this is a big deal, since if her stomach is empty too long, it could kill her. After consulting with a doctor, we took her in to the Floating Hospital, got her on a high-sugar IV, and proceeded to wait until this stomach bug worked its way through her system. Basically, this involved feeding her increasing quantities at decreasing intervals, and seeing how much she puked. Zeph/cathijosephine and darxus heroically fetched stuff from home for us and watched her when we needed a break. Ne'ertheless, we didn't get much sleep.

Then, in the wee hours of Monday morning, buxom_bey came down with the bug. I called in my mother to watch Roo while Zeph checked Bobbi in through the ER to get her on an IV. (I had had maybe 2 hours of sleep in two days and needed to crash.)

At 3pm today, both Roo and Bobbi were discharged. Roo is in fine spirits, Bobbi is still sick and shlumpy. My mother followed us home to help us recover. We're sterilizing all the things, ever. Your good wishes are welcome.

*HUGS*

I hope Mom is feeling better soon. I'm glad Roo was able to weather it in good spirits.

Yikes! Here's wishing you all a quick recovery and some much-needed sleep.

Oh, crap...I hope Bobbi and Roo are all better soon and that no one else gets the ick!

[bluepapercup]

Wow. Sounds tiring and stressful for all involved. I'm glad family and friends were there for you when you needed help.

I hope all recover soon and that you don't get the ick!

[mrf-arch.livejournal.com]

Ugh! I hope everyone is better soon!

[hahathor.livejournal.com]

Sending many many good thoughts. Hugs and kisses to the Bey & the Babe.

[bluegargantua]

OK. Me and everyone I know can all stop going to the hospital now. I thought we made a resolution about that?

Anyway, I'm glad Roo is doing better and I hope Bobbi gets well soon and NO ONE ELSE gets sick.

Augh! That sounds like all the not-fun ever. Internet-sanitized hugs to all.

[ricevermicelli.livejournal.com]

Oh no! Stomach bugs are the worst. And while I see the concern about Roo, I am sorrier for Bobbi - babies don't seem to mind throwing up, they just do it and move on. It's adults who feel it coming and going and are miserable.

I'm glad you've got your mom to help. Best wishes from here that everyone makes a complete recovery very soon.

[whswhs.livejournal.com]

That's a scary situation, but I'm glad to hear you've all come through it without lasting harm. I hope the recovery continues.

OY!

[sweetmmeblue.livejournal.com]

I'm really sorry you all got this and hopes for no one else getting it and it passing quickly from them who has it.

[caulay.livejournal.com]

That sounds completely horrible and I'm glad everyone is reasonably OK (or at least out of the hospital).

[minerva42]

Boo sicknesses and yay for hospitals that help. It sounds like I'll see some of all of you for soup-making tomorrow. I will turn my heal-quick vibes into food!

[dani-namaste.livejournal.com]

Many good wishes your way. Sounds like a bad time all around, but glad things seem to be on the mend.

[fangirl715.livejournal.com]

Damn, that sucks... Glad to hear that you're all doing better now!

[kalliejenn2.livejournal.com]

ugh, sorry to hear it. glad everyone's ok, though

[archangelbeth]

I hope everyone gets well soon!!

[lillibet.livejournal.com]

Oh, the poor things! I'm glad Roo is much better and hope Bobbi stays on the same curve.

[feste-sylvain.livejournal.com]

I know what I went thru when my kids were sick. (Well, "kid" actually, as my elder put off getting sick until late last year.) No kidding, the stakes are higher for you all, so you just went thru worse.

But it's what you have to do, so you do.

[ceo]

Eep! Sleep and healing to you all.

[crazybone.livejournal.com]

Gah. Suckage. Glad to hear that all affected parties appear to be on the mend. Good wishes you have them.

[cutieperson]

ugh, no fun! i'm glad they're both on the mend.

[inkedandkinked.livejournal.com]

Feel better Bey!

[muffyjo]

Of all the....holy mackerel! I hope you all recover well and quickly.

*comforting thoughts*

[anotherjen.livejournal.com]

Wow, that explains why you guys hadn't responded to my email about baby clothes for you. :-) I'm glad everyone is doing better! And do let me know about the clothes.

[trowa-barton.livejournal.com]

I hope they get well very soon.

[dancer.livejournal.com]

Oh no! Glad the family is on the mend and hope things get back to normal soon.

[drwex]

Good wishes from me and our household, definitely.

I remember being startled at how un-phased kids are by this stuff, particularly given how badly I react to it myself. We try very hard not to make a big deal of it, in hopes they won't get too stigmatized by the time they're adults.

[shaix.livejournal.com]

Oh dear! I'm so glad everyone is on the mend. So glad Roo was unfazed by the illness. Love to all!

[guenpanther.livejournal.com]

Oh no! Glad they're starting to feel better. Seems like it's going around - a coworker and his toddler son just had the same thing!
