You know how mine was? My youngest son got sick Easter morning. At first, I thought it was a stomach virus because the signs were there. But after going to the emergency room and spending what felt like eternity (10 hours) I learned it was Gastreonitis. My son was in so much pain and while he was throwing up in the E.R. I wanted to cry with him because I was so helpless. He was dehydrated and had to receive fluids (2 1/2 bottles) and because of the pain he felt, they gave him a Cat-Skan on his stomach but first he had to dringk 2 bottles of this liquid white stuff that looked like milk, smelled like vanilla, but tasted like crap. My son threw up the first bottle and mananged to get 1/2 of the second bottle down but it was very hard for him to do but I told him that he was a trooper because I know some adults who would have given the doctors a far more worse time than my 12 year old son did. He is feeling a little better today but I did keep him home today. Hope your Easter was better.

Oh how awful for you and your son, so glad to hear that he is on the mend. Our Easter was fine other than my little one having high temperature and not really eating but he fine now. I know what its like when they are in pain, you want the pain to be yours instead so they are not feeling it. Ellie :D

That is so true ellie. My stomach was going into knots because my son felt so bad and I couldn't do anything. A nurse saw the look of worry on my face and took me by the hand and took me outside to get a breath of fresh air and she gave me some water. She was such a nice nurse. But he is on the mend now thank God.

Oh, wow, that's a tough way to spend a holiday, especially one like Easter. It's good that your son is feeling better though! Our Easter was very laid back. My wife and I hung out with her older brother and his roommates, had a small BBQ in their new condo with a firepit, made some smores, and watched a few basketball games on the TV. Nothing too fancy, just a quiet day overall.
