hospital.stay.

So L just got over the flu. She ended up being admitted to the hospital because her glucose and blood volume were super low. They pumped her full with three bags of fluids and kept her overnight to make sure her numbers moved up. When she came home in the morning, she was 100% better- back to her usual self. My guess is that the flu bug was gone by wednesday, but since she hadn't kept anything down for almost 72 hours, she was so dehydrated that she was almost hungover. Who can think about eating or drinking anything when they're hungover? Except mcdonalds perhaps, but even so, that's a while after the worst of the nausea passes. If only we all had access to i.v. fluids after a rough night!
