March 6, 2006 - Home again

We are home from the hospital again. Ryan was found to have Rotavirus (a viral gastroenteritis or infection of the gastrointestinal tract). This infection is really hard on babies and small children because it causes bad vomiting and diarrhea such that they will need IV fluids to prevent dehydration. Thankfully Ryan has managed to keep his feeds down and is still eating enough so that he doesn't need IV fluids so they sent us home where we'll just have to wait for it to run it's course. We are relieved to know it was nothing serious.
