Hi family,
Yesterday morning the phone rang and it was easy child 2's fiance saying they had been in the hospital with my g'son to be since 3 a.m.
He was vomiting blood and his blood count was dangerously low. They live about 30 minutes from me, but I swear I got there in 15! He is 3 yo and is a tiny little guy. He looked shrunken and white as the bed sheets.
Hospital admitted him for dehydration and to figure out why he was bleeding. He had had the stomach flu for a few days and then started feeling better then the vomiting of blood.
Zillions of tests later: It was a virus. He was put on a total liquid diet, IV's and Tylenol and finally about 2 a.m. this morning he started perking up.
I tell ya, these little kids can scare the day lights out of ya! He was discharged home on a semi-soft diet, earlier than docs wanted but "R" was freaking out in the hospital and they thought he might do better at home. And he had not thrown up for many hours.
I am home now, exhausted and still worried about the little guy. But easy child 2 is now done with school for the summer and is off work the next few days. So, they should be ok.
Going to take a nap now before kidlets get home from school.
Tired, worried "Grandma",
Vickie
