I got a text from Carson's daycare provider on Thursday afternoon saying that he wasn't feeling the best, but wasn't running a fever. When I picked him up, he was perky and playing outside. I got home and he started to moan and cry and said that his tummy hurt. He had a low temp, so I give him so water to sip on. He calmed down and watched some Blues Clues and relaxed on the couch. About an hour later, he started the crying again as we were getting ready to eat.
He never calmed down even though he had some heat on his tummy and cool on his head. I ended up taking him to the ER around 9:30PM. He got an x-ray which showed a blockage in his intestines. They gave him some medicine to prevent him from throwing up (which he never did) and some morphine for the pain.
At 3AM, he got a CT scan to check on the blockage in more depth. It was gone thankfully or we were being admitted and transferred to Children's for surgery. I was given the choice of taking him home and trying to deal with the pain or admitting him for some observations. I choice to admit him. We got settled in our room in the hospital about 4:30AM. He was given two IVs to keep him hydrated.
They took all of his meds so that they could process them in the pharmacy, which ended up being horrible. It took forever for them to get them back and I finally fed him some of the meds I kept in my purse because he was hungry. He finally was approved for solids around 3PM. He wolfed down his macaroni and cheese and chips in record time. He were discharged at 6PM since he was eating and keeping food down.
And now today, you can see he feels better...
