Well, last week was horrible....weather wise....we hit upper 90's with the dew-point in the mid 80's. It was hard to breath.
Well with that and Wyatt now a 10 year old I didn't really pay attention to his intake of liquids. Well that bit me in the butt!
Wyatt got up at 5:30 in the morning with a fever. He had a hard time moving and just laid there. Later in the morning (while he laid in my bed so he could watch TV) he began throwing up. UGH!! His fever kept coming and going. I called the nurse line and they suggested that I take him to the E.R. Well lets just say Wyatt was very upset about this.
We get to the E.R. and he's answering questions and bla bla bla. They put a band on his arm and we're good to go.....to wait some more....
Wyatt is just laying down with is head on my lap and this woman comes in with her BIG Computerized wheel chair and two people to assist her. Wyatt states very loudly "Hey, Mom do you think she was raped?" (OMG!) I just said no I don't I think maybe she was in an accident....lets stop talking right now.....
So, the nurse brings us to a room and he was all excited about having his own TV. Yay Cartoon Network for hours!!! They started to hook him up to a couple heart monitors and he started to get worried about having a shot. "NO SHOT, NO SHOT!!" But he realized that these items on him don't really hurt. We also discovered a great game. I would freak him out so he could watch his heart monitor beep faster and higher. Great game!!
Well the Doctor want him to began drinking apple juice. Wyatt hadn't peed for 25 hours at this point in time. He said if he didn't pee after all this juice we'd have to set up an IV. Well after drinking 32 oz of juice he yelled "I'VE GOT TO PEE!" (yay) We run to the bathroom. Wyatt is in the bathroom "awwwwwwwwwwww peeing feels soooooo gooooooood" then he yells "hey Mom, they have these white hats in here" I opened the door and see one on his head and I laughed and said little man that isn't a hat. It's a bowl for people to put on the toilet to catch their poo. Well those "hats" are pretty good frizbee's too!!! Heads up!!
The end result from the E.R. Dehydration and Strep. UGH!!! Wyatt got a BIG Shot in the butt before we left. NOT a happy camper. I'm glad we didn't stay in the waiting from for much longer a lot of new interesting people arrived and Wyatt's comments might be just too much to handle....
Sigh.....
