We're Back From The Hospital

Wednesday afternnon we headed to the hospital with Eyore. He was still throwing up everything and getting dehydrated. My pediatrician and the specialist were working together well and we decided to make sure he was hydrated before they did any surgery. This noon they took him off to surgery to look in his throat and lungs. There was not a blockage anymore but his lungs and tubes were red and irritated. The radiologist finally read the xray and said there was a blockage on Tuesday. The lates is that it became swollen, possibly from the massive reflux he was having. Steroids and Z-pack can cause reflux and he already has it pretty bad. So they put him back on prevecid and are going to watch him this week. We got home at 5:30 this evening and are happy to be here. He threw up before we drove off and he threw up what he ate here at home. The question is is it from the meds from surgery or the other elusive problem. He is still coughing to. When they put him out for the surgery they ended up having to give him more medicine because he was still coughing and couldn't do the proceedure. That tells me something. The anestesiologist came to talk to me twice. The waiting game begins. He was a real trooper and had a great attitude the whole time.

Yes, but we appear to still be in the woods. He has thrown up everything he has eaten. Of, course, when we got to the parking lot he started throwing up. He has thrown up everthing since. We'll see how this morning goes.
