Angry Norovirus?!?!

Yikes! Anyone else here had this yet? Not fun . . . not fun at all. My hubby went into the hospital (practically at gun point; he is both male and German ) Wednesday morning (via ER, by ambulance). Weak as a kitten, delirious, unable to stand or walk . . . nausea, diarrhea, vomiting . . . temp had started low-grade (Monday midnight) then spiked to 101.5 when we went in. That part is all finally starting to get better, but the blood counts are taking a nose dive . . . I'm worried that this might all be triggering the tMDS into over-drive?

In order, these are the counts from: Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, followed by ref range:

WBC: 4.7, 4.1, 2.7, (3.8-10.8)
RBC: 3.17, 2.73, 2.44, (4.2-5.8)
HGB: 10.7, 9.2, 8.1, (13.4-18)
HCT: 34.0, 28.7, 25.8, (40.0-54.0.0)
Plt: 101, 78, 68, (140-400)

We had just finished a two-and-a-half week run of visiting ALL his doctors and lots of tests and labs and cultures and scans and whatnot . . . getting pretty good reports . . . and were hoping for a break from all of this . . . maybe even get away for a night. There went that idea.

Anyone else experiencing this? Any thoughts?

Thanks!
