Stomach Bug!!

Well, it's been a long week at our house.
Saturday night, Carter went from jumping up and down excited one minute to throwing up the next...and it continued all week long.
We eventually had to take him to the children's hospital ER because of dehydration caused by whatever virus had attacked his little body.
I've changed more pull ups and bedsheets than I thought humanly possible in a 5 day time period!
Good news...Carter seems to finally be on his way to recovery. Today, he's kept down small amounts of food and is drinking plenty of fluids as well. We go back to Doc in the morning, with hopes of a good report!
Unfortunately, he lost about 5 pounds in 4 days...but we're thinking that once he gets his appetite back he shouldn't have any problem regaining the weight.
Many thanks to all of you who've been praying for the little man this week and for your words of encouragement. It's meant so much! :)
Hopefully, I'll have fun pics to post again soon once Carter bug is feeling a bit better!
In the meantime...GO TARHEELS! :) Just had to get that in there...it is March, afterall! :)
