Emergency Room #5



Would you believe we’re at it again? Add Maine to the list with Oregon, New Mexico, Nevada and Washington.

Little Man was up all night with diarrhea. (Guess who was up with him? This morning he was still going like clockwork and I noticed a lot of blood in his stool. If we’d been home, I probably would have put him on a B.R.A.T. diet and waited to see if it passed. But on the road this gets tricky and we decided to take him in.

Stool samples, urine samples, blood samples that required 2 pokes -- none of it was very pretty. But he survived, and the doctor diagnosed Food Poisoning. Poop results won't be in for a couple of days to say precisely what.

At least he's not contagious, and for the next few days we'll be at Friend's house where he can rest in bed if need be.

Poor kiddo.
