What a long day!
DS was feeling sick Wednesday with flu like symptoms.
He slept 12 hrs, came downstairs looking rather pale, I made him chix soup and sent him back to bed. He slept for another 8 hours, looked better with color but he still wasn't back to normal.
Last night at 9:30 we took him to the ER due to severe cramping and blood in his stool. They finally gave him a room at 2:10am, set him up with an IV, took blood and hours later found out he had a viral infection in his stomach. Apparently the virus made it's way down his large intestine. They gave him some meds which helped and sent us home at 5:30am. I think we finally fell asleep around 6ish.
The ER was set up for covid with plastic sheets hanging from the ceiling in sections. It was ominous looking and it didn't look like that two weeks ago when I was there getting a series of tests done through my new PC.
The closest ER was full and wasn't excepting anyone.
My recommendation, if you need to go to the ER, do yourself a favor and call prior to leaving home.
