Joshua and I are home from the hospital. It was yet another long night in the Pediatrics Ward but we made it through! We visited our family doctor yesterday morning who sent us to a Pediatrician. The Pediatrician looked at Joshua and then sent us to the hospital where the little guy was admitted and immediately put onto an IV. They were worried because he was dehydrated and had lost just over 5 pounds in 4 days (from a stomach virus).
Thank you to my Mom and Rick, Stephanie, Lyndsay and Joe who all visited us in the hospital (and kept me sane ... it's hard to entertain a 1 year old when he's grumpy, hungry, sick and confined to a small area). Thank you also to Joe's parents, Athina and David, for keeping James for 5 days and 2 nights this week ... it's been so hectic I don't think I could have handled having both of the boys around all the time! Also, thank you to the makers of portable DVD players, cartoons and story books, without which we would definitely not have survived the past 36 hours! ;)
Dr. Anquist says that as long as Joshua will drink fluids we can stay home tonight! :)
