Our family recently caught a stomach virus. It hit me yesterday evening. For some reason I had a much worse case of it then everyone else. In the middle of last night I was just sitting in the floor and my stomach was hurting very badly. I told Waylon I felt like I was going to pass out, and a few seconds later I was completely out. That was actually the second time that I passed out in the past couple of weeks, and Waylon was kind of tired of it happening, and told me to make a doctor's appointment first thing in the morning. So I was able to get one early this morning. She took my vital signs laying down first, and then standing up. Her eyes got wide, and said "is this thing picking up correctly", and she put the stethoscope to my heart and said, "yeah, it's real" (...that wasn't the most comforting thing to hear! lol) They did an EKG, and my heart was normal, but she said I was probably severely dehydrated and that I'm going to the hospital. I was like "Can I just drink some water?" =). Of course she said no, and strongly advised me to go to the hospital.
I got there and the nurses had a similar reaction to my vital signs. They gave me 2 1/2 liters of IV fluid with some nausea medicine. (uhhh, IVs....the reason I didn't even get an epidural when I was in labor with Ryan.) I left the hospital after that, and thank the Lord, a friend watched the boys for us this afternoon. I'm feeling much, much better now. :)
