yesterday orko was feeling under the weather and we ended up taking him to the vet. the poor little guy vomitted three times and the vet is pretty sure he has a stomach bug. he gave him some meds, took some blood and sent him home.
i am definitely anxious about it, yesterday at the vet all i could think about was when sean got him and how sickly he was. then i thought about what if he needed to be hospitalized and how the hell we would pay for it. how do uninsured americans deal with this sort of crap when they are sick? the idea of not being able to see a doctor because i couldn't afford it terrifies me. even with all of the problems with the canadian health care system at least i know there will always be a doctor at the end of the 10 hour wait in the ER.
he seems to be doing better, at least now he's eating and keeping it down. it's always sad to see the little guy sick. i can't help but worry about him which makes me wonder if i would ever be able to deal with a sick child. probably not.

Stella was sick on Sunday, with a bladder infection. The whole thing was nerve-wracking and expensive, so I feel your pain. I hope Orko gets better soon!
