Ginny began vomitting at about 9:30 last night. She would do it again about every 30 minutes. After the first few time it was just dry heaves. Since there was a half hour gap between episodes the doctor wanted to see if extra medicine would work. Ginny was alert, but tired. After a couple of hours it was apparent the pills weren't working so I called Linda and she came home and took Ginny to the emergency room, at about 1:30am. At 4am Jonathan started throwing up. We went through the same thiong with him with no results either. Since we only have one car I called my dad and had him take Jonathan to the emergency room were Linda already was. (We have two more children. One had already caught this bug and the other started vomitting this morning about 8:30) My dad arrived at about 6am and took Jonathan. By the time he got there they had already admitted Ginny, so he stayed in the emergency room with Jonathan until about 11am this morning when they released him, and he was brought home. Linda's still at the hospital waiting for them to release ginny. the doctors wanted to treat them both with IV cortef to help their immune system. It seemed to have worked very well since Jonathan seems in good spirits. Linda says Ginny is doing fine but the doctors are taking their time. I got about 2 hours sleep between 2 and 4, then another 2 1/2 between 6 and 8:30. Linda has been trying to catch up with her sleep while she waits for the doctors. I'm glad it's Thursday because Linda's job schedule is 4, 10 hours shifts so she'll start her weekend early. I hope those with smaller children who wonder about what life will be like with CAH children can learn a little from me writing this. Neither Ginny nor Jonathan has needed to go to the emergency room in well over a year. They almost always respond to extra doses, but this time was one of those occasions when the emergency room was necessary.
