Stomach Flu | hippieheart's Blog

Had a scary, all-consuming stomach flu thing yesterday.  It was awful.  I'm feeling better today but still tender.  Tuesday night all was well.  Went to bed and sometime around 2am I woke up with some cramps in my stomach.  I felt hot all over and just KNEW I was going to vomit.   I got up three or four times and went to the bathroom, but nothing.  Of course, I couldn't sleep, just waiting to throw up.  Yuck.  I hate that feeling.   Finally, around 4:45am, I threw up.  And threw up and threw up.   It was baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad.  And then it started from the other end.  Sorry to be graphic.  I don't think I've ever lost so much fluid from my body and in such a short span of time.  

Thankfully, when I begged my husband to stay home from work, he scrambled to make it so.  During a conference call he was on, I ran past him to throw up again, barely making it in time.  I was an awful mess.  I slept all day yesterday.  Oh, it was awful.  

I am just praying that my son doesn't get this.
