So my 15 year old cousin was brought to the hospital last night cause he had a nasty stomach virus

Posted by J Feb 17 '09, 18:34

they said it was a good thing they brought him in at that point cause his blood pressure was down to 88 over 60 and he was crashing. They said any later and they would of been performing CPR on him.
They gave him 3 bags of liquid in IV form and sent him back home once he could keep down a glass of water...not sure what the liquid was.

They said it's a highly contagious stomach bug that's going around.

He's better today, slept most of the day but they had to keep walking him up to give him more fluids.

hopefully it stays out of this house
