Sick Garrett

The week before we went to Utah, Garrett came down with some major dehydration because he couldn't keep anything down. He was more than willing to drink, which is the important thing, but as soon as the liquids would hit his stomach, back up it came :(

That morning Garrett had woke up on his floor. He must've thrown up during the night because there was throw up all in his bed so he moved to the floor and fell asleep! I can't believe he didn't come wake us up! I felt so bad that he slept with throw up on him for who knows how long. 

This is how Garrett acted all day:

He would just go to the rocking chair, the couch, his bed, and just fall asleep. Finally that afternoon, since he wasn't keeping and food or drink down, we made an appointment with the doctor. We went in and after seeing him she suggested we go to the ER and get some fluids into him.

He wasn't feeling good AT ALL.

We finally got checked in and into a room. They wanted to try giving him some anti-nausea meds first  before giving him an IV, to see if that would help. So they did that and we had to wait to see if they would kick in.

After a while they came back in with some blue powerade and crackers. They had me try and get him to take small sips of the powerade over the course of 30 minutes. Then they offered him the crackers which he slowly nibbled on. After about an hour of having the meds in his system he began to perk up and was doing MUCH better! I had never seen him so lethargic and sickly looking. Poor guy! They sent us home with a prescription to get some additional anti-nausea medicine and we went on our way. 

After another day or two of recovering, he was doing much better when this happened:

Yes, Kimbri came down with the same thing but because we had just went through it we were able to get Kimbri some of the same medicine and kicked the sickness in the bum before she threw up too much! Thank goodness!
