ethan...

I guess I'll begin by sharing with you our not-so-relaxing Memorial weekend. Friday morning, Ethan woke up vomiting. He got sick all day and into Saturday. He had thrown up so much and couldn't keep any liquids down that we ended up taking him to the ER Saturday afternoon. He was pretty dehydrated and they admitted him overnight putting an IV in. So we were released Sunday afternoon. Ethan was doing better, not great, but better. He had color back in his face and was moving around again. After we left the hospital however, he started refusing to drink anything. They said that may be normal at first since he had so many fluids in him from the IV, so we didn't think much about it. Well, he wouldn't drink anything Sunday, and Monday we grew a little concerned that he didn't want to drink at all.
In the meantime, I get sick and Josh ends up taking off the day to help with Ethan (thank you babe!) Well, his pediatrician wanted to see him again this morning, so we took him back in. She wanted us to really force the liquids through a syringe since he wouldn't take it through any other method. Long story short...he vomited everything back up tonight (don't think it's still the virus), and as of this moment (which could very well change) we are planning on heading to Columbus Children's tomorrow to admit him and have another IV put in and see what's going on. That's what his doctor suggested to us. I promise to fill you in as soon as I can. Thanks for your prayers...
