Kale's First Trip to the ER

Kale had his first trip to the ER last evening. When we got home on Saturday night, both boys were in bed. Kale woke up on Sunday and looked pale and kind of sat around and wasn't interested in breakfast...see where I am going with this? He started vomiting at around 1pm and he wouldn't drink anything. He only vomited 4 times but couldn't even keep water down. We called the pediatrician at 7pm and they told us to take him to the ER for fluids because he had not had a wet diaper all day. So I am sure you can guess the rest. The hooked up the IV and he fell asleep while they pumped him full of fluid and anti vomiting meds. He perked right up and then he got a popsicle. Still looking a bit pale, but much perkier they sent us home at 11:30pm.

Not feeling well at all, this was what he looked like just as they started the IV.
 After receiving his fluids and anti vomiting meds...looking much better.
 He ATTACKED the popsicle, poor little man was so hungry.
I am happy to report that he is currently sacked out on the couch. He fell asleep after chasing bubbles outside for about 15 minutes. He is definitely feeling much better! Feel free to pray that the rest of us stay healthy!
