Here it is, I thought I was past the effects of the stomach bug that hit on Christmas night, but early this morning I was up again paying a visit to the bathroom about every 15 to 20 minutes. This precluded me from joining Deb and BeezleBub for a trip down to the WP In-Laws.
This being sick shtick is gettin' old real fast.
UPDATE: Deb and BeezleBub got home from the In Laws around 8PM. Apparently BeezleBub got sick just a couple of miles from home and has been vomiting and suffering from diarrhea ever since.
Poor kid. I know exactly what he'll be going through for the next 24 hours or so.
UPDATE 2: We ended up having to take BeezleBub to the ER at the local hospital at just past midnight. We couldn't keep him hydrated and the cramps were excruciating. (As bad as I was during my bout with this, he was far worse. I got alarmed when his lower back started aching, a symptom that he was so dehydrated that his kidneys were shutting down.) After 2 liters of saline, dilaudid, anti-nausea/vomiting meds, and 3 hours on a bed in the ER, he was feeling much better. We got him home about 3:30AM.
