Tucker was readmitted into CMH on Thursday for dehydration. Monday after returning home he could not hold his formula down. We tried to maintain it at home with pedialyte. He did well on Wednesday with just pedialyte but when we went back to his formula, he got sick. I was also ill on Monday evening and am just now feeling better. I think we got a hold of a little stomach bug and we all had a go of it, well-all but Todd so far. He is doing well, they gave him a bullas of i.v. fluids when we got there, which instantly changed his color. It is amazing how fast something can go from bad to good, or good to bad. Just a simple thing of 30 mils, which is 1 ounce, of liquid makes all the difference in the world to Tucker. It means the difference between hydration and dehydration, also on the other spectrum, heart failure for having too much fluid. It is a true balance with him.
