Well yesterday AND last night were pretty good. He only threw up about 1 tablespoon in the night and slept pretty well. Sooooo......I started work today! It was pretty stinkin' exciting to be back in the clinic but it was short lived. 1 1/2 hr after I got there I got the call from Mom that he wasn't doing well. When I got home he had a HUGE distended belly, horrible smelling gas, and throwing up again. He was grabbing his tummy, crying harder than usual and saying, "It hurts...it hurts." So back into the clinic we went. After checking him out yet again, they thought maybe it was finally time to send him on.He got admitted tonite to the Pediatrics Dept at Carle Clinic in Champaign and they've got him on fluids. After not eating or drinking all day (another new thing) he finally perked up at 6:00 tonite. He has kept lotsa pretzels, crackers, and water down. The first thing he did when we got to his room is do another BIG SMELLY blowout......right when the Doctor came in. So, he's the talk of the floor now of how smelly but cute he is ;) His white blood count is up a little bit and so far the only thing we've heard about his tummy xray is ALOT of gas. We should hopefully find out more tomorrow. The peds gastro guy is supposed to come check him out too.
TOTALLY relaxing....thank You Father!!!
One of our favoritest nurses, Brad....he's a riot! So far, we have loved every single one of them....what a blessing!
Acting great and playing hard....well not as hard as normal...but still playing.
We couldn't forget monkey or John Deeres......Well, it's 9:45 and he's still not sleeping. He's acting really loopy and funny and demanding chips. So I'm gonna go grant his wishes.We are going to try to enjoy our hospital "hotel stay" as much as possible ;)
So far, everything and everyone has been amazing. They have a teen room that Jason and I thought looked fun with Wii, games, internet, tons of fun stuff and a family lounge too. We are sharing a small couch tonite so that should be interesting BUT the bathroom and shower is just as great as a hotel so I'm not complaining. ;)
Thank you again for all your prayers.
Will post again tomorrow. Hugs.....Laura

Hey there, just happy to hear they're finally going to get to the bottom of this!!!! Little Gabe even looks adorable in the little hospital gowns =) Tell him his buddy Brandon misses him, but sure did love to look at the pictures you posted of him in the hospital...
