a trip to the ER

So, I told you all about our trips to the houses of Richard's side of the family for thanksgiving. Well, we get back home Friday night and at about 10 pm richard gets sick as a dog to his stomach...vomiting and the whole 9 yards. He does this all night long till he's just so dehydrated he can hardly move. Well, as many of you know he's a type I diabetic so if he would have had a blood sugar low and couldn't keep any food down, that would have spelled disaster. So, off to the ER we go. Yes, dehydrated I'd say. They pumped him full of 3 bags of IV's and gave him some medicine for his nausea that didn't work. Finally, they gave him another kind that of medicine they give chemo patients and that did the trick. All the while, I was hoping and praying that Jackson didn't get whatever this was. Turned out to be a bad, bad gastro intenstinal virus. Yuck!
