Gatorade is our friend ...
Tucker is still not feeling great. The doctor did blood work and urinalysis to check his hydration, and x-rays to make sure he wasn't impacted. All that came back looking good. He said it looks to him like its just a really nasty virus. He wrote us a prescription for the same med I gave Tucker yesterday (I had suppositories and the Doc wrote the scrip for liquid so if Tucker can keep it down, he doesn't have to have the suppository.)
Our next job is to try to keep liquids down him so he doesn't become any more dehydrated than he already is. Our goal is three ounces and hour - so far we aren't getting that much in him, but we'll keep working on it. I picked up every flavor of gatorade available so if there's one that works, he has it available to him.
THANK YOU for your prayers.

Awww Hope he is better very soon...that type bug is no fun to have.
I am so relieved to hear that there wasn't anything more serious. He's holding a little liquid, that's a good thing. Bless his heart ...
I hope he's doing better. Gaterade helped with our sick one last month. We had to get liquids in him.
bar the pantry when he gets his appetite back again after four (soon to be five) days!
sending more wishes for quick recovery.
I hope he's able to keep that down and lots more soon
I am glad to hear it isn't anything really bad!
I'm sorry - I hope by the time I'm writing this he's doing better. it's such an awful feeling, watching your little ones suffer - with *any* kind of sickness. I think I cried the last time my two were throwing up - even for just a day
