The day after Aidan's Emergency visit he had to go back the next day for blood work and some antibiotics. The next day after we got the blood culture results back and they were negative so that was a bonus. Our next hiccup was Aidan's little brother getting sick. Brandan woke up to diarrhea and vomiting. He didn't eat all day and everything he drank came out just as fast. By 3:30 I realized that he had not gone pee and from past experiences with Aidan was that Brandan was dehydrated. I phoned our clinic and the nurse said to take him to Emergency to get fluids. The fear of a 4 hour wait was frightening enough. Brandan of course just thought the worse especially with all that Aidan has been going though. Aidan was a FANTASTIC big brother, he told him not to worry and gave his brother a big hug. On the drive up to the hospital Aidan told stories to Brandan and got him to laugh. I guess it could have been worse wait time included we were there for 3 hours. I found out that just giving water alone is not good but to give pedialite or gatorade 1:1. The vomiting had stopped on its own and Brandan had pedialite when we were at the hospital so no IV line(BIG RELIEF). The doctor said get him to pee and he can go home.
Brandan was able to eat a bit of food and had a bit more life today. Oh Simba our cat also got a big gash on his ear and had stitches so he is in the box so he could get fresh air also. Aidan was taking care of both of them. Aidan said he woke up to Brandan poking him in the face this morning.
They are hoping that the Easter Bunny will find them this weekend and won't be scared off by the virus they are carrying.
