The next day is mostly Mari just sitting in bed with diaper after diaper of diarrhea. The doctors tell us today they are 90% positive that Mari has Shigella (probably misspelled). It is caused by E. coli. This is about 11 o’clock in the morning and they are going to start her on antibiotics to fight the Shigella.
In the mean time, I call Keith’s mom and tell her that Mari has been admitted to the hospital. She figures Mari will be home in a day or two and will come over to visit her then.
The antibiotics are finally given to Mari via IV at 7pm that night (You think it took them long enough J). She starts to throw up in the evening. Throughout the night she continues to have more diarrhea and throwing up.
