From Vegas to the ER

We arrived in Las Vegas on Tues. 1/29 escaping the bad weather in SLC. We enjoyed a great day Wed. laying by the pool, reading and floating around in the huge hot tub lazy river.  Ate at a buffet that night which didn't sit too well with Craig.  On Thursday he started feeling sick.  Nausea, weakness, cramping and diarrhea.  We debated going to an urgent clinic or hospital in Vegas but chose to drive straight to Salt Lake on Friday.  The drive was awful for Craig.  We stopped about once an hour or more wherever we could for him to go.  He looked gray and was totally wiped out and miserable.  He didn't want to drink a lot to prevent him having to go more so by the time we rolled into the ER at IMC Friday night he was wasted.  We waited 3 hours to be seen by a doctor and finally got an IV and pain medicine in him about 10:30 pm.  His kidneys were not doing well, he was basically in kidney failure.  They admitted him and we finally got to a room about 2 am.  Poor Craig...he was really miserable.  We were afraid c. diff had come back or never really left.
