This morning, the picture was much the same although the hospital was different. Four and a half hours of ER time to treat Austin for dehydration thanks to a nasty bout of diarrhea and vomiting that WILL NOT go away. Add in bleeding from the hoo-hoo and the need for a catheter and you have one very sad little guy.
We are home now. I am feeling the same relief I felt two weeks ago. Thankful for doctors and medicines and making things better. Little man is upstairs taking a much needed nap with his bottle of Pedialyte tucked safely under his arm.
I am going to collapse into a nap of my own, sans the Pedialyte. All this parenting of sick kids is wearing me out.

Poor little Austin! I'm glad he's ok and you are home now and he's getting some rest. I hope you get some too - you are always doing so much to help everyone.
oh my! I hope he starts feeling better soon, poor boy. Take a good nap, I hope you get the rest you need :)
OH Karen, this is horrible. It reminds me of when we took Porter to the ER last year for the same thing. I'm so so sorry. It's the worst experience ever that I would never wish on anyone. I hope he gets feeling better soon and you get some rest yourself!
Poor little man! So sorry he had to go through that! Glad he is better and sleeping! Such a sweet picture!
Oh no! Glad you are home and that everyone is resting :)
You have had your share lady.... I'm so sorry. I'm glad he's on the mend, hopefully you can all sleep and get the rest you need. Stay healthy.
Kar-
Jack did this same thing about 2 weeks ago. he wouldn't keep anything down and basically every liquid ended up in his diaper. I feel for you. It was exausting! Get better soon austin.
Poor little guy. I hope he is better very soon.
Enjoy your nap! (and DON'T mow the lawn, it can wait!)
So sad to think about this little cutie feeling ill. I'll be thinking about you guys!
Poor Guy! I hope he is feeling better! Sick kids are no fun!
