**I'll update throughout the day at the bottom as I get info and am able. Thanks for all the prayers, everyone. I think we'll need them.

---

Isaac took him to the hospital a little under an hour ago. He has now reached dehydration, I think. I haven't heard anything yet and am about to explode.

I am here with Ja.son because no one is available to watch him right now. I can't bring myself to take Ja.son to the hospital and expose him to all the crap that is there. So, here I wait for word...in full freak out mode.

And I am bitterly angry that Is.aac wouldn't listen to me last night. He made me feel like some crazy person because I wanted him to go last night (you know, when we both could go and had access to childcare for Jason). We were miserable all night long. Poor Sh.awn.

I hope they can give him some fluids and yet not admit him. Ugh. I hope there is no reason to admit him.

---

Oh, and IB, welcome back. I literally didn't have enough shit to think about.

---updated

CT scan showed some fluid on the right side. The hospital he is at now is trying to communicate with Child.ren's to compare scans. Not feeling good about this.

FUCK.

---12:26 pm

Transporting him via ambulance to Children's. Is.aac has seen the scan, although there is no way to get the scan from the hospital he's at to the hospital that he has his other scans from (which I think is bullshit). The fluid build up does seem "bigger" to Is.aac, but he admits it has been a while since he's see his last scan (June 2008).

Blood work came back normal for everything, including flu. The lack of diarrhea makes them go to the old standby, the shunt.

His shunt is not adjustable. It will be surgery if there needs to be adjusted.

Is.aac's phone is dying, just to add to the fun.

I declare the universe is a fucking bitch.

Now I have to figure out how to get to our local hospital and get the car with the car seats and get to Childrens.

Oh Stacie...I am so sorry your little man is sick. I hope he doesn't need to be admitted. And hon, I can definitely understand your anger with your hubby but don't let it fester. {{{Hugs}}} and prayers.

Jess said...

I'm sorry. Hope you have word (good word) on him soon. Thinking of you.

Will say a prayer, too.

Thinking about you and the little man. I hope it's as minor as serious dehydration can be and that he pops back to great health SOON.

Cathy said...

Ugh, I'm sorry.

I hope on comparison it's not so bad.

His isn't adjustable, right? So there's no chance that it's like what we just dealt with with Daniel where the setting just had to be changed to let it drain more?

Thinking of you. Let me know if you need anything.

Just said a prayer for your little guy! I hope everything's ok

Oh shit stacie. I went away over night and this is what I come back to. I'm SOOO sorry.
Please keep us updated. He's in my prayers.

UnicornMommy said...

Oh No. have they admitted him or having him hang out in the ER?

I wish I was closer. I would watch Jason for you. I can't imagine not being able to be at the hospital. But totally agree with your reasoning.

Hugs. Keep us updated...

praying!

Hope to hear soon how he is doing. Hope that the fluid is no different from an old scan. Will be thinking about you and your family.

Fran said...

Jess said...

:(

Prayers and good thoughts for you guys.

Cathy said...

What the hell kind of backwoods hospital was he at if they couldn't send the digital copy of the CT scan? Idiots.

I hope it's not the shunt. And if it is, I hope the revision is your run-of-the-mill in and out variety.

Still thinking of you guys.

Sam said...
