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!
