Prayers and vibes from Cal and me. I'll say a Rosary for himMy Hobbit (aka my grandson) was taken by ambulance to Akron Children's Hospital earlier today. (Well, yesterday, based on the current time!) On Monday, he was not his normal happy self and had thrown up a few times. By Tuesday, he really did not want to eat and was just staring off at nothing with a strange expression on his face. Something like a grimace but not exactly. His face looked a little red. We chalked it up to his teething--he has two coming in--but my daughter said she was going to call the doctor anyway in the morning. Morning came around and he had not made much noise. He was sleeping when she first checked on him, but soon it was well past his normal waking time. He was just lying in his crib with that look on his face, which was brightly flushed. She picked him up and he was sort of limp. She took him to the hospital, which is literally three minutes from her apartment, where they checked him over. He was extremely dehydrated, refusing to eat, and not going in his diaper. He did not even cry or fuss when they did the IV! They thought the IV would help perk him because of the dehydration, but it really did not do much. After a couple of hours, they decided to admit him to ACH for more tests and observation. All the other tests have been negative. I do not know what the tests have been for exactly because she has been too upset to remember any of them other than that she was told the tests were fine or inconclusive.
He slept most of the day. When he was awake he did begin crying after a few hours, which was a welcome change from the staring. He also noticed the IV, so they put a little cast thing on him to keep him from pulling it out or trying to bite it. He kind of wanted a bottle around 9 pm (more than 24 hours since last actually drank any of his bottle) but vomited up about half. The bottle was only 5 oz rather than the normal 8 oz he takes. They are doing more tests in the morning. They did not let my daughter ride with him in the ambulance so I drove her because she was so upset. They would only let two people total in with him, meaning even if one person was not in the room, only the two people with the wrist bands are permitted to see him at all. The second person was his dad, who could not leave work until nearly 7 pm. He has to work again in the morning, so I have to go get them if they release him. She is hopeful they will, but I am doubtful.
I will let you all know what happens.
Right now, I'm okay. Some sleep was actually called for, it seems.How are you?
Home with your mama probably has helped. I miss my mother so much at times I can'breathe, then usually have a Stouffer's mac and cheese mixed with tomatoes. She would make that for me as comfort food. Stouffer's is pretty good. Does your mom make something special when you're feeling rough?Right now, I'm okay.

For me, pretty much any home-cooked meal is special. Two meals that are definitely high up on the list though are tomato soup and grilled cheese, and meatloaf.Home with your mama probably has helped.

Aedan looks so happy. He's not jealous of his new sister at all? What a good boy.I have dozens of pics of her lol. I'm actually feeling pretty good.
How frightening, Elphaba09 . I hope they discover what’s going on and that he’s okay.My Hobbit (aka my grandson) was taken by ambulance to Akron Children's Hospital earlier today.

He is four days shy of six months. He is already a whopping 16.9 lbs! A far cry from the 4 lbs 11 oz birth weight! They were impressed with how big he has gotten already. He is still slightly delayed in his milestones, but his doctor does not think that it is anything to worry about at this stage.Elphaba09 - prayers for the hobbit!!! How old is he now? I can't even imagine how terrifying it is, especially not having answers.
Thank you, everyone.
I wasn't able to concentrate on my schoolwork, so I spent the entire afternoon just watching Amazon Prime videos. Better than sleeping, I guess.
I'm spending the night at my mom's. I just don't want to be alone right now.
My kitties are like this with their little rabbit fur toys. Although, once I clean out under the sofas, I normally find a bunch of toys I haven't see for a while.I’m not going to give up, but I’m completely baffled. Since we moved here in October, the cats have lost, one by one, three yarns balls and a mouse. For awhile, I was able to find two of the three balls and the mouse, but now they’ve all completely disappeared. This place is spacious but it’s not huge and it’s all on one level. I’ve looked everywhere, all of the usual places and the not usual places, on my hands and knees and flat on my stomach with a flashlight. Gone. Lily and Iris carry things in their mouths so I need to check the shelves and inside all of our shoes. Urchins.
I'm so glad to hear he's doing better. Do they by any chance have any plants he could have gotten into? I've recently read someone's warning about a specific succulent plant that their young child barely got into and they had some similar symptoms with staring and not responding. Not sure if that would show up on bloodwork or not, but just something to ask maybe. <3My Hobbit (aka my grandson) was taken by ambulance to Akron Children's Hospital earlier today.
