ROTOVIRUS

Well, we'd planned to post great pictures from our weekend in Brownsville with the Moss Family but instead, we are fresh back from a day at Children's Hospital emergency room, after being hit hard with what they think is rotovirus. Poor Little Philip has been throwing up on "both ends" since yesterday and can't keep anything down. They gave him some IV fluids and told us how to carefully increase his fluids as we work to keep him hydrated. It's not going well. Since we got home at 5:30 p.m. today he's thrown up 2-3 more times, even with just about 5 ml of pedialyte in him each time. We are carefully watching him tonight. If he's not doing any better by tomorrow mid-morning, we may be back at Children's. Please pray for our pitiful little boy!

Oh Renie, I'm so sorry. We'll pray that Philip gets better quickly--and that nobody else gets it. We all had it last spring and it is miserable. Thankfully they now have a vaccine so any future little Mosses should be in the clear. Aren't we all thankful for that?!
