Geez Stephanie, it sounds as if you had a major problem going on. 6 to 8 buckets is a lot of liquid for anyone or anything . I bet you felt miserable and had a ton of worries going on. Lets hope this doesn't happen again. Blockage is worse than diarreha I would say. For me blockage was the worse of the 2. I am praying you get to go home real soon and that this doesn't occur again. Good luck and keep the spirit up and running.
