We have spent the last two months taking measures to limit John's exposure to any possible illnesses and germs. And then, we spent two long hours in the cesspool of biowarfare that is the ED waiting room of a children's hospital. We adore children. Yesterday, we did not see cute little faces and chubby cheeks. We just saw pint-size blobs of germs and illness closing in on John.
Once we were in the back, they ran some tests to make sure it was blood. Then did a culture and gave John an X-ray to rule out distended bowls or bowl obstruction. It was blood, but the X-rays came back normal. So we were discharged. The ED doctor said that in most cases (they see many of them every week) they never find out the cause. It resolves on its own.
We headed back home in the wee hours of the morning. John blissfully asleep in his car seat; he was no problem once he was allowed to eat again.
This morning John woke up in his usually cheerful mood. He is currently playing with his newest toy: his right hand. There was just a little bit of blood in his last diaper but noticeably decreased. Now we just hope and pray that he did not catch anything worse because of this field trip.
Sorry there haven't been any pictures lately. My computer has decided it won't work with Blogger. We'll try to get some up soon.
