The latest..

Sorry no catchy title, I just want to explain what's been going on for the past day. Thursday night I went to work and Deb had fed Alex a few hours before I left. She hadn't taken a poop in a day and a half and was very sleepy. After being at work for a few hours we realized that she wasn't going to wake up much at all or have any interest in eating. I came straight home and we took her to the emergency room. Everything checked out, but she was still so out of it and not eating much. Maybe a few minutes at a time if we kept trying to keep her awake. Since that time they've started all these tests on her and are monitoring her vitals. In the first couple of hours she pooped a ton and now continues to do so regularly. Also after the first few hours she began to eat regularly and is still doing so. She is now as alert as she was when we brought her home the first time. They have given her antibiotics and that may've helped. They're still waiting on the test results to see if there is any sort of infection or virus. If she didn't have anything clinically wrong, then I guess she just mysteriously got better on her own? Either way I'll take it. I'm home at the moment for a little while. I just got back from taking Deb's Mom to the airport and I'll be heading back to Baystate Medical Center in a bit. I just wanted to try a way of informing friends and family about this situation. I have had to keep my cell phone off (you know, in a hospital) and haven't been home when people call. I've left messages with those who've called me and left them. If there's anyone who hasn't, they can get the information here. I'm forwarding the 800 number to our room, so anyone can call and reach us there. If you don't have it, call Baystate Medical Center. We're in Infants and Children, room 4161B (4th floor). Until next time.. --------
