the boy was throwing up all last night. Today he has not eaten, and has hardly drank anything. He hasn't even peed yet. Of course most of you know that he is also a diabetic, which always makes things more fun. I hope the ER doesn't try to kill him again.
UPDATE:
well we just got back from the ER. Turns out it is just the flu or something like it. They gave him an IV and let him sit for a while and things starteed getting better. He got hungry about an hour and a half after we got there. I told the nurse about it and she did nothing. Long story short they let his blood sugar fall to the range where it starts getting really dangerous. I had attempted to get him some help 3 times before I took things into my own hands. I walked up to the nurses station where some idiot nurses aide asked me what I needed. I walked past him (into the nurses station) and found the RN. I told her what was going on and she said she had to talk to the doctor. I raised my voice and told her that my son needed help now before things get really ugly. I had about 30 people staring at me and this asshat nurse. She realized that I was not playing and said, "how bout some juice?" I was like, ya think?
Magically right after that, and after 2 1/2 hours of being left alone, they came in and discharged him. I really hate hospitals.
