Guess where we are.........

no it's not a Labor Day picnic, it's not the zoo or state fair in which we were offered free tickets...it's the pediatric ER at Hopkins. Wyatt had an extremely fussy night. He usually sleeps from 8pm until 6am with the exception of last night. He as awake and crying most of the night, arching is back and could not get comfortable. This morning he vomited dark brown blood three times and we also noticed his abdomen and feet swollen. So off we went to the ER. Thank goodness my mom and sister spent the night last night so they took Chloe with them. The ER was wonderful and took us right away and have been very attentive to us. They took 3 x-rays, blood work, he is on an IV, and flushed his G-tube. So far, he has a slightly elevated blood pressure, high white blood cell count- 28,000 (which is his normal), and is a little acidotic. They are taking a urine sample, rectal exam, and more blood work. The ER docs are going to meet with the GPS team and make a decision of what to do.... we will keep you tuned...
