After three days Ashley was still holding her stomach and moaning. She hadn't eaten any thing the entire time. None of the rest of us were sick that long, so I made an appointment and we headed to the doctor. We saw Dr. Legako. Dr. Stillick left last year to follow his dream of working with premature babies in Ohio. Dr. Legako said since Ashley also had diarrhea that it was a stomach virus and not the flu. He prescribed some medicine that they give chemotherapy patients for nausea. He also told us she needed to be drinking more than just water or she could still get dehydrated. She needed to drink Gatorade or something with electrolytes in it. So, off we went to Wal-Mart where Ashley stopped in the bathroom first because she thought she was going to throw up. Luckily she didn't and luckily no one was in the bathroom while she was trying. Wal-Mart told us there are only two places in town that could fill the prescription, Anderson's and the Walgreens on 67th. Off we went to Walgreens. There we waited in the car for the appropriate time and went in to find out they were trying to get hold of the doctor because they couldn't fill the prescription in the amount he specified. But of course it was lunch time. So we waited longer. However, it was worth the wait and trouble. Ashley rubbed the lotion on her wrists and was feeling better pretty quickly. She got a good night's rest and felt a lot better the next day. We'll be holding on to this medicine! Although, hopefully no one gets sick again!!
