Rough Night

Bo had a horribly rough night last night due to the method of urine collection the nephrologist insisted on. But that's over, and hopefully we are in the home stretch of observation before discharge. He got a chance to play with a few other kids in the playroom, and will hopefully have another monster nap today to make up for his night of less than restful sleep.

Long Weekend Extended

Bo will have to remain in-patient at least till Wednesday. poor thing. Hopefully the next few days are for observation, only. Luckily, we were able to secure accommodations at the hospitality house here (like a Ronald McDonald House) through the end of the week. And we still have a few good friends in town, to help take the edge off.

Don't Forget the Ativan

Last night I talked to Dr Doom and was in no mood to post. After a good night's sleep- no yacking!- and a shower, and talking to Dr Doom again this morning, I feel more confident that we may actually get home Monday. They are collecting urine from Bo today and tomorrow, and hopefully this data will generate more answers, rather than more questions.

Mystery Baby

Too high in the AM, normal by PM. They pulled labs as soon as Bo was admitted, and they were normal! But, his hemoglobin is a little low (from all the labs!) and they want to run some extra iron into him. Some people are allergic, so the first (and sometimes second) iron infusion is run in the hospital. The nurses monitor vitals every 15 minutes for the 1st 4 hours is the protocol. So we're not here for no reason. And we got to see his GI and are waiting to see his nephrologist and hemotologist. It would have been impossible to schedule all three in the same 2 days with such short notice, so I'll consider it a wash. Meantime, Bo and Jose are catching up on their sleep. What a way to spend your birthday, poor Jose.

Bouncing Baby K (Potassium)

Now the Potassium is too high and we get to check into the DeVos Suites. Long weekend in Grand Rapids. I spoke too soon.

First Feldenkrais Lesson in Town

He was NOT into his Feldenkrais practitioner. He wasn't into his ABM practitioner either. But he wasn't scared of her. She is an older Chinese lady and bears a striking resemblance to me and my mom's side of the family. She did some accupressure for all of us, as well. Yum!

Quiet Weekend at Home!

Bo lost a smidge of weight and was acting a little funny this weekend, but not worrisome enough to send us to the Inn. His labs were drawn this morning and I am hoping hoping that we don't have to pack him up for another hospital visit.

Bo got to see 3 of 4 grandparents on Sunday. He was grinning from ear to ear. And Jose got to smoke a ton of meat. Yummmmm!
