A stomach flu for Bo is a very serious affair, as rehydration requires hospitalization, IV fluids and checking his electrolytes (or "lytes" as the nurses say) once every 8-12 hours. Dehydration means potassium, sodium and chloride (salts) levels dropping, and sometimes dropping to scary low levels. We got to stay at the inn 2 nights this time. The pediatrics floor (aka PEDS, aka Childrens Hospital) is starting to get the idea that we are frequent fliers there. We are hoping that this is not a regularly scheduled visit.
