  • Tucker is Sick


    I mean really sick.  He hasn't been able to eat anything solid since last Thursday.  (Our plan to spend Friday at the amusement park came to a screeching halt when he didn't hold his breakfast down.)  I don't panic over a day of stomach virus, we've gotten through that before with no problem.  But this is no ordinary virus that's got hold of my baby.  Yesterday, I started him on a prescription anti-nausea medication, and it knocked him out.  But it didn't seem to give him more than a minimum level of relief.  And he still couldn't handle food.  By last night, he couldn't even handle clear liquids.


    As soon as I can get him there this morning, we are going to be in the doctor's office.  At this point the doctor and I are both concerned about dehydration.  And I'm about half insane over my baby curled up in pain whimpering.  Would you keep us in your prayers today?   I don't know how soon I'll be able to check back in here but as soon as I can, I'll let you know what we've learned and how he's doing. 


    Thank you

  • Poor baby. Poor Mommy. Absolutely. Prayers from both me and my daughter.

  • Prayed for Tucker immediately. 

  • Poor baby. Of course, I'll keep you both in my prayers.

  • I have consulted the ship doctor and he said a shot of rum will fix him right up. Not sure that is the best way to go but....

    He will be right as rain in no time. There is a bag of dog food in the storage room that is just waiting!

    Sail on... sail on!!!

  • Please call when you have news. He didn't look a bit Tuckerish last night.

  • I'll be thinking of you...and of Tucker...and praying, and praying, and praying...

  • I do so hope Tucker is OK. It would worry me too if my little one did not seem to be getting better after 24hrs. (((HUGS)))

  • Done.  Please let us know how he is! 

  • wow, much love and light to him!!!

  • Prayers for the little guy.

    I had this awful AWFUL flu, it ended up being the really bad one of this season. Sounds like he has gotten himself a version of that. It takes a lonnnng time to get past the naseau and errr the other things that dehydrate you. But he will get there, that I promise. It just seems on some days he won't.

    Make sure they check for food poisoning too, I know with my flu it got to the point they seriously wondered about that instead.

    Sigh either way the only thing I could eventually get down was the clear gatorade, try that? Hope he's better soon. Poor guy.

  • Sending him lots of hugs and prayers Terri, I hope everything is ok!
