A great weekend that ended with a scare.

Well, we had a bit of a scare Sunday night the 5th. First, AC is doing fine so there's no need to worry. But, after a great weekend and a great day in Tekonsha, we returned home Sunday evening at around 6:00. Not long after, AC threw up and appeared to be in considerable discomfort. But, no big deal. Then he threw up again about 10 minutes later....and 10 minutes after that. Soon, he was throwing up nothing but a mucousy (spelling?) greenish yellow stuff since he had nothing left to throw up. And his crying was just so strange, something we had never heard. Anyway, we decided to take him to his doctor's office which has after hours care. On the way, he threw up again and began to look so pale that we decided to divert to the ER at U Hospital. We arrived there at around 8pm. They checked him every which way and he had no fever but continued to throw up on occassion and cry in this really strange way. Well, the doctor wanted him to stick around until her shift ended just to see how he progressed. He eventually fell asleep for a while and then woke up hungry. He ate a little and kept it down, much to our relief. The doctor decided to send us home at around midnight. He slept through the night rather well and today has been absolutely fine, laughing and having all sorts of fun. Although he hasn't eaten much solid food today. We're not sure what it might have been. Perhaps a low grade virus causing him some stomach problems, or perhaps some dairy formula that he had during the drive home from Tekonsha. It's been a while since he's really had much dairy so that may have caused him trouble. We were worried that it might be his exposure to chicken pox (a couple kids at his daycare had chicken pox a week or so ago). But the chicken pox seems unlikely. Anyway, all seems fine now but we were obviously scared for those 6 hours. There's a couple more pics from the hospital if you follow the "Arthur month 07" link to the right.


Before all that went down, Karen hosted a really nice BBQ on Friday night in honor of my birthday. You'll find a few pics of this at the "Arthur month 07" link. I also got some nice pics of AC and Cathy this weekend. You'll find them in the same place. I also placed a couple of new pics at the "Arthur month 06" link that you may not have seen yet. Sorry for being slow to get those posted.
Until next time....
