Hospital due to Dehydration

We are in New Hanover​ hospital with Oliver. He is very dehydrated, getting multiple bags of IV fluid, blood work and an abdominal x-ray (which came back ok). ​

We have to spend
​ tonight here ​
to figure out what is going on.
 ​ Another night of sleep depravation, God help us! 
The rest of 
Thursday (our 21 hr long trip to Boston) was one of the worst days of our lives. I thought Andrew and I both were going to loose it.
 ​ 


Andrew was unable to stay awake and is now at home​. Since Wednesday he has only slept a few hours total due to travel, ​Oliver 's illness​,
a cold​ and work. 
​The man is as worn down as I have seen him. ​

​I am here in the hospital bed with Jim (Andrew's dad) trying to keep Oliver calm. He is in pain, angry and frustrated. My mom and grandmother are coming to do a shift this afternoon with Andrew coming back for the night. Whew, I'm exhausted just writing this.

We saw great teamwork between our Boston doctor and our local pediatrician Dr. Pollock via email today. We started our morning at Medac, but ended up here at the hospital, which clearly was necessary. We are so blessed by our medical team. ​We also had our always awesome CNA, Zach with us from 7am until 2pm...he is a rockstar!
