Ian gave us quite a scare yesterday when he came down with a bug of some kind. We were all ready to head for church when his breakfast reappeared. He vomited all morning and became increasingly lethargic and non-responsive as the day wore on. I called our most wonderful son-in-law who advised us to take him to the ER (it's great to have a doctor in the family!) The pediatrician agreed, so off we went to Home Hospital. Ian had lost 4 pounds in less than 24 hours and he doesn't have an extra ounce anywhere to lose! He was dehydrated and they started IV fluids and anti-nausea meds after doing a chest x-ray (which was completely clear). The doctor said it was just a virus and not any type of flu (praise the Lord!) He was doing better by the time we left the ER and slept just fine last night. This morning, he is up and wanting to drink and drink and drink....(which is very unlike him - drinking is difficult for him.)
So, for those of you who knew what was going on, thank you for praying! Words can't express how much we appreciate it!

Yay, glad you're feeling better Ian! Make Mom and Dad wait on you hand and foot!
ReplyDeleteI'm not reading that to him, but I did show him your blog with the Halloween pics and he just chuckled and chuckled. It was so cute. I'm sure he's never seen dogs dressed up! LYB! Mom
