sick little boy

We had a nice little scare with Gabriel this weekend. Saturday night we took him in to ORMC's ER because he would not stop screaming or moaning. They ran the runner of tests on him (CT scans, X-rays, lumbar punctures, IV draws, RSV, Influenza and so much more) and could not find out what was wrong. He was in so much pain that 2 doses of morphine wouldn't even knock him out. When the pediatrician saw him, the decided to send us down to Primary's because his stomach was so rigid, guarded, and painful. They wanted him to be closer to surgeons just in case. After a fun little ambulance drive to Primary's, they ran a slew of tests again and watched him. They finally decided that he had gastroenteritis (inflammation of the bowel) and he just couldn't tolerate the pain. I know that God was watching out for our little boy. It could have been so much worse. We came home Tuesday and he is exhausted and worn out. The poor guy doesn't want to do anything but have Mommy hold him. We are grateful and blessed our little boy was safe.
