Rotavirus sent us to the hospital for a 2 night stay
Wow! That rotavirus can really be a beast!!!
DD started throwing up on Saturday afternoon and by 24 hours later she had thrown up about 12 times. She had a fever of 102. Sunday my doctor had me bring her in (thank goodness one of the offices is opened on Sunday) and he said that she was little dehydrated and to rehydrate her with an eye dropper b/c if she were to drink it was just going to come back up. We did that and Tylenol suppositories. By Monday, she was refusing all food & drinks; she was lifeless and diarrhea took over where the vomiting had left off. I took her back to the doctor and he sent us to the ER.
She was given IV fluids and they x-rayed her belly. They saw that he intestine had ceased so whatever went in was just coming out either end. They also said that her belly was distended and filled with painful gases. They admitted us and after 2 nights we finally got to come home today. She is not 100% but definitely on the road to recovery.
What a terrible 5 days---I want a redo! I am glad that I didn't catch anything while I was in the hospital with DD the whole stay. I am 36 weeks pregnant so that was a bit scary.

Re: Rotavirus sent us to the hospital for a 2 night stay
Wow, that sounds vicious! Glad to hear you are both home and on the road to recovery!
I assume she never had the rotavirus vaccine? How old is she again?

Unfortunately, she never got the vaccination. She is almost 2 1/2 years old. The doctor said that the new baby will get the vaccination.

Awww I am glad Piper and you are ok. I was just about to send you an FM because I hadn't seen you around. What a terrible couple of days it must have been.

Re: Rotavirus sent us to the hospital for a 2 night stay
OMG, I have been so afraid of this (and other illnesses) as DD is behind on her vaccines including the Rotavirus vac. I've had multiple stomach viruses throughout this pregnancy thanks to things she picks up and they've been awful... I feel for you and hope you continue to feel well.

Poor thing! Thank God she's on the way to recovery. I hope she feels all better, very soon. And I'm glad that you are feeling ok, though maybe a little extra exhausted.

Re: Rotavirus sent us to the hospital for a 2 night stay
Thanks for all of your good wishes! We had a good night so we'll see what today brings.
There is nothing like taking 4 days off from work 3 weeks before my maternity leave. As of tomorrow, I have 2 weeks left to work.
